Caldbeck Cottages
Discover a lesser known side of the Lake District and stay in a
Caldbeck holiday cottage in the magical Northern Fells.
Expect outstanding scenery and excellent walking. Take in the
views atop Skiddaw and Blencathra, approached from the north along
quieter paths. Enjoy exhilarating rambles across Carrock Fell and
High Pike. The Cumbria Way also passes through Caldbeck, while the
ever-popular Coast to Coast and Reivers Cycle Routes skirt close
by. Don't miss the lovely short walk from just beyond the
village duck pond up the Howk, a limestone gorge with waterfalls
and ruins of an old bobbin mill. In fact, old mill buildings are a
feature of Caldbeck, in particular Priest's Mill, which has
been transformed into a visitor attraction offering shops,
workshops and a riverside café serving homemade food.
As well as ducks, the conservation village of Caldbeck is home
to cute and cuddly, free-range sheep and ponies grazing on the
village green. There's also a 12th Century church, a
traditional Lakeland inn and a fantastic general store that sells
everything from everyday basics and regional produce (great for
stocking the larder of your Caldbeck holiday home) to fuel for your
car.
Neighbouring villages worth a visit and with good eating
establishments include Hesket Newmarket (brewery and agricultural
show in September), Uldale and Ireby (music festival). Otherwise
opt for the bigger towns of Keswick, Penrith, Carlisle and
Cockermouth, all about a 20-minute drive from your cottage in
Caldbeck.
All in all, so many reasons to book a Caldbeck cottage for your
next British holiday! Please find below our selection of self
catering holiday cottages to rent in Caldbeck.
