Why a Staveley Holiday Cottage?
The sleepy village of Staveley in Cumbria is home to two taverns, one renowned for its Cumbrian cuisine and locally brewed ales. Stretching for almost ten miles and crisscrossed with ancient bridleways, the valley is a superb region for mountain biking. Salmon, trout, freshwater pearl mussels and white-clawed crayfish attract anglers from near and far. Interesting walks directly from the village include the 12-mile Kentmere Round, Spring Hag, Craggy Wood and Reston Scar, the latter offering sensational views across South Lakeland. Other attractions include the Church of St. James, with its splendid stained-glass window and Staveley's annual carnival in July - a whole weekend of celebrations highlighted by a colourful Brazilian-style parade.
