The surrounding area is a quiet gem of Cumbria, offering rolling farmland, sandstone villages and big skies. A short drive brings you to the charming village square of Kirkoswald, home to welcoming country pubs, scenic river walks and the impressive ruins of Kirkoswald Castle overlooking the River Eden. Walking and cycling routes crisscross the valley, with gentle riverside paths as well as more adventurous routes leading into the open fells.
History lovers will enjoy visiting the dramatic Neolithic stone circle at Long Meg and Her Daughters, one of the most significant prehistoric sites in the north of England, or exploring the striking sandstone chambers of Lacy’s Caves carved into the riverbank. Nearby Penrith offers independent shops, cafés and historic buildings, while scenic journeys on the famous Settle–Carlisle Railway provide breath-taking views through the countryside.
For wider adventures, the northern reaches of the Lake District National Park and the sweeping landscapes of the North Pennines are within easy reach, offering unforgettable scenery in every season.
