Wonderfully placed to explore the great outdoors, take a walk in nearby Dodd Wood and find waymarked forest walks, spectacular panoramic views and maybe even spot an osprey.

For a more challenging climb head up Ullock Pike above the cottage, and continue to the mighty Skiddaw, England's fourth highest mountain, with epic views to the coast, Scotland and southwards towards the central Lake District. At 11 miles away, outdoor enthusiasts will love Whinlatter Forest Park for its array of mountain biking tracks, a café and a high ropes course with zip wires at Go Ape! Those looking for a slower pace can explore Mirehouse (2 miles) and its rambling gardens, adventure playgrounds, a wildflower meadow, a heather maze, and woodland walks.
