Haverbrack is the perfect place to stay because not only do we have The Lake District on our doorstep but also The Yorkshire Dales National Park. Famous for its distinctive hills like the “Three Peaks”, its extensive cave systems, and historic Settle-Carlisle railway, The Dales are a popular destination for outdoor activities like hiking, cycling, and caving.
Sedbergh
Famous for its independent school and for being one of Britain’s leading ‘Book Towns’, Sedbergh enjoys an enviable position under the massive backdrop of the Howgill Fells, a magnificent area of rolling hills and open common land which is a walker’s paradise.
Farfield Mill
Sedbergh has bags of olde worlde charm, its historic houses and cobbled streets are the perfect complement to its extensive choice of speciality shops, and cafés, pubs and bistros serving locally sourced produce. It is also home of Farfield Mill, a former Victorian woollen mill which now contains gallery spaces, artists’ studios, power looms and handlooms set over four floors, displaying, and selling a range of contemporary craft, art, and jewellery, handcrafted and designed by artisan local producers in the Mill.
Dent
With its hilly cobbled main street and colour-washed cottages, Dent is a thoroughly charming village set in the beautiful valley of Dentdale.
The long-distance walk, Dales Way, takes you through Dent, so what better way to enjoy your walk than a stop in this charming little village with its quaint pubs and cafes.
Kirkby Lonsdale
Kirkby Lonsdale is in the beautiful valley of the River Lune on the fringes of both the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks. A national winner of ‘Britain in Bloom’, the town has an excellent range of speciality shops and attractive 17th and 18th century inns.
It is in this historic market town that you can find the famous ‘Ruskin’s View’. This scene was painted by the artist JMW Turner in 1822 and the picture so impressed the 19th century art critic, social theorist, painter and poet John Ruskin, that he wrote: ‘I do not know in all my country, still less in France or Italy, a place more naturally divine.’
