Pets welcome – but we like them to be well behaved as we are a livestock farm.

There are plenty of things to see and do close by such as walking (Ullswater approx. 1 mile over the fell), cycling (many quiet roads and fell lanes), sightseeing, or simply relaxing – and children love the animals.  Our two young boys are proud to show off the stock to visitors.
