Discover Cumbria

Far from the hectic action in Windermere, Ambleside and Keswick the small village of Caldbeck is tucked away on the northern side of Skiddaw. It is an attractive collection of white washed traditional Cumbria cottages and stone barns. Still a thriving farming community it offers an opportunity to enjoy an area which is less influenced by tourism but never less is particularly interesting to visitor.

Boot is a tiny village in Eskdale valley with just a couple of pubs and a post office. It is situated at the end of the Hardknott pass and is a short drive from Ravenglass and Wasdale. This is a linear village and is ideal for those seeking a quieter stay far away from the bustle of places like Ambleside and Bowness.
