About the location
IREBY
Bassenthwaite 5 miles; Keswick 12 miles.
Ireby nestles in the peaceful fells of the northern Lake District, in the beautiful area to the north of Keswick known as 'Back of Skiddaw'.
Once a thriving market town, with the market cross believed to date back to 1200, Ireby is now a truly unspoilt, peaceful fell village.
The peaks of Great Calva and Knott look down on the village and the nearby Aughertree Fell was the site of a Bronze Age farm and the remains of a pre-Roman road are still in evidence, a unique and most complete settlement from the Iron Age period.
Nearby Bassenthwaite Lake itself, while boasting gentler scenery than others in the region, is still one of the most picturesque places in England.
Places of interest nearby include Mirehouse, a grand house and gardens on the shores of the Lake with small open-air theatre (reputedly frequented by poets such as Tennyson and Wordsworth), Trotters Farm, and Dodd Wood.
Most of the attractions of the Lake District are within easy reach and the quieter Northern Fells are almost on the doorstep.
The nearby towns of Cockermouth and Keswick, both have weekly markets and offer a good range of amenities.
The scenery of the Yorkshire Dales is within touring distance, as is the city of Carlisle and Hadrians Wall..
