Longtown, with its attractive 18th century bridge, is a well-stocked location, with walks along the River Esk and through the surrounding countryside. The local area offers a variety of shops, pubs and restaurants, along with Brampton and Carlisle nearby. A 60-acre country park, Oakbank, just outside the town boasts fishing, a bird sanctuary, lakes, and walks in abundance. Choose from the Solway Coast, Northumberland National Park, the North Pennines and the Lake District National Park with walking, cycling and many exciting opportunities for outdoor pursuits. The Solway Firth is popular with birdwatchers looking for wading birds and wildfowl.

This is a wonderful base to choose for your next UK holiday.
