South Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales National Park, making this a great base to enjoy all outdoor pursuits, in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Kirkby Lonsdale boasts an excellent range of eateries, friendly pubs and bespoke shops. Visit Ruskins view and the famous Devils Bridge. Explore the nearby stunning Ingleton Waterfalls Trail and Ingleborough and White Scar Caves. The Silverdale and Arnside area is also close by with spectacular views over Morecambe Bay. Heading inland, other hidden gems include Dentdale with yet more glorious scenery and a charming rural museum and coffee shop (located in Dent village). The creamery at Hawes is also well worth a visit. Travel a little further afield and visit the splendid shores of Lake Windermere, where you can explore the lake on a historic steamboat. Or enjoy family days out at the Lakeland Wildlife Oasis.


There are lots of places to explore on foot nearby; ranging from bracing walks in the fells taking in spectacular views, to more leisurely walks along the beautiful river Lune at Kirkby Lonsdale. You don`t even need to take the car since there`s a charming walk next to the Old Dairy leading to the village of Cowan Bridge. For those who enjoy more challenging climbs there is always the three peaks challenge to consider; (Inglebrough, Whernside, and Pen y Ghent).


If you would like to see the farm the owners would love to show you around on a guided tour. Depending on the time of year you can visit the lambs, have a ramble in the bluebell wood, watch the highland cattle, visit ancient trees, see pigs being fed in Thackbarn Wood, or take a look one of the many other seasonal activities which may be taking place during your visit (such as sileage making). Farm tours can be arranged once your holiday begins.
