Just show me Eden Valley Cottages
Looking for a place to escape, with stunning scenery and lots of
outdoor recreation? Book an Eden Valley cottage and you'll find
all this and more.
Sandwiched between the North Pennines and the Lakes, with the
Yorkshire Dales to the south and Hadrian's Wall to the north,
the Eden Valley is a beautifully unspoilt region, far from the
madding crowd.
The winding valley is ripe for rambling whatever the time of
year, so dig out those boots and prepare for superb walking. There
are literally miles of glorious paths following the river's
course, with welcoming spots for riverside picnics and sightseeing.
Expect caves, gorges, peaceful and gushing stretches - and look out
for the ten unusual benchmark sculptures along the way. Join long
distance trails and cycle-ways like the Coast to Coast and Cumbria
Cycle Way, or try your hand at fishing for freshwater salmon and
trout. Other sports include golf, windsurfing, sailing and horse
riding.
Enjoy lazy days weaving along country lanes through the lush,
green countryside. Explore sandstone villages and historic towns -
Appleby, Kirkby Stephen, Penrith to name a few. Or soak up the
scenery aboard the Settle-Carlisle Railway. Other attractions range
from castles and gardens to museums and galleries.
After a day's activity, look forward to sensational dining
in venues dotted about the area, or stop off at a farm shop and
savour local produce in the comfort of your Eden Valley cottage.
Remarkably, few people know this part of the country. So spoil
yourself soon and browse our Eden Valley cottages...
