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. For more ideas on how to spend
