Ref: 1856 The Penthouse 
ORTON Kendal 12 miles; Penrith 12 miles; Keswick 25 miles. The charming old village of Orton sits in a secluded position on the eastern fringe of the Lake District National Park. Along with its better-known neighbours of Kendal, Sedbergh and Appleby in Westmorland, the area is surrounded by lovely rolling countryside and beautiful scenery. Above the village sits Orton Scar, a limestone hill, used in days gone by to warn the village of Scottish raiders and popular today with walkers. The village centre has a local pub serving good food, a post office/shop, tearooms and the famous handmade chocolate shop & tearoom. A lovely green surrounded by 17th and 18th Century cottages adds to its charm. There is a farmers' market in the village square on the second Saturday of every month, while the Mad Monks Music Showroom is also well worth a visit! Take a short drive and discover the unspoilt lake of Haweswater - home to the only pair of nesting Golden Eagles in England, or take advantage of the excellent road links to the Lake District, the Eden Valley and the Yorkshire Dales.
