Location: The small hamlet of Preston Patrick lies amid beautiful countryside in South Cumbria. A scattering of dwellings and rural farms make up the hamlet, which has lovely views over Farleton Knott and the Lakeland Fells in the distance. Enjoy restful strolls through the nearby Hutton Roof Crags Nature Reserve, or head into Kirkby Lonsdale, 6 miles away, to cross the famous Devils Bridge, enjoy the attractive architecture or sample the variety of shops, pubs and restaurants. Also within reach are Settle, Sedburgh, Arnside, Sizergh Castle or Levens Hall. Lovely walks, some with views of the Lakeland Mountains, the Howgills or Morecombe Bay, can be enjoyed in the area, which is ideal for exploring the Lakes or the Dales at any time of year.

Impressive mountains, open fells and clear-water lakes; the Lake District landscape has inspired several literary greats, including William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter. The mountains of Skiddaw, Scafell and Helvellyn provide enjoyable challenges for walkers, whilst at lower levels there are hundreds of routes among the lakes and stone-walled fields. If bustling lakeside towns and exhilarating water sports take your fancy, then Windermere and Coniston Water could be for you!

If its peace and tranquillity you seek then the secluded lakes of Buttermere and Wastwater are not to be missed. Cumbria offers much more than just lakes. Explore the National Nature Reserve on Walney Island or visit the picturesque Duddon Valley. With award-winning gardens and the Lakeland Motor Museum, Holker Hall is a great day out. In northern Cumbria the peaceful villages of Caldbeck and Ireby offer a haven of solitude and tranquillity. To the east lies the green and sheltered Eden Valley. Its dramatic landscape provides a range of activities including walking, cycling and water sports and is home to the Lakeland Bird of Prey Centre and Lowther Wildlife Park.
