Just imagine – Breakfast with a view like this for £16 a night

The view, (and the low price) and the breakfast are just two of many reasons to stay at The White Horse Inn Bunkhouse near the pretty Lakeland village of Threlkeld. The fact the Coast to Coast cycle route passes the door and you can walk up Blencathra from the garden make it the perfect base for walkers, fell runners and cyclists. Keswick with all its attractions is a short drive down the road. And finally the traditional White Horse Inn just below the bunkhouse serves fantastic home cooked food and local ales. Be sure to book, as it’s very popular.

June in Carrshield

A wonderful month to be surrounded by mother nature in the North Pennines

With the valleys becoming a beautiful verdant green and the moors blossoming, the birds raising their young what is not to like about the North Pennines at this time of year? We may well be in the heart of England’s last wilderness, but we are conveniently located to explore this amazing area that teems in wildlife and has heritage sites around every corner.
