Although the valley is very secluded and offers the opportunity to ‘get away from it all’, Kendal can be reached by car in only 10 minutes. this is our nearest shopping centre and is a thriving market town steeped in history.

The valley itself is very peaceful and offers spectacular scenery - hill walking on Banninsdale and potter Fell, and no holiday would be complete without the gentle walk to the valley top (Sadgill). For the more energetic, a walk over the top brings you to Haweswater, to the famous submerged village of Mardale which could be seen by visitors during the droughts of 1984 and 1995.
