the 18th century. Situated in spectacular Wasdale the cottages provide a
perfect base for exploring the remote and uncommercialised western fells
and lakes.
It's difficult to capture the wonder of Wasdale
in a few words, but a useful link can be found
here
An easy walk gives access to the open fell leading to the Wastwater screes
and Scafell range. For the less energetic the area abounds with low level
walks through open countryside and woodland, alongside rivers and lakes - with a liberal sprinkling of delightful
country pubs.
Should you want a change from walking there is plenty of choice - fishing,
golf, riding, sailing, mountain bikes and swimming can all be found in the vicinity.
The area’s other attractions include the ancient Roman fort Hardknot Pass;
the
miniature steam railway which runs up the lovely valley of Eskdale; Muncaster
Castle and owl centre and Wordsworth’s birth place in Cockermouth.
Of course the more well known centres of Keswick, Windermere and Ambleside are
within easy striking distance, but far enough away for the western lakes to
retain their own individual and unspoilt character.
The cottages are situated on a former working farm, set in seven acres of
meadows
and
woodland bordered by the
River Irt - with rocky pools
and cascades.
