The surrounding area is beautiful stock-rearing farmland. Which ever way you travel from the cottage there are picturesque and interesting places to visit with something to offer for everyone. The Yorkshire Dales are to the east, with the mountains of Ingleborough, Whernside and Penyghent so well known for the famous 'Three Peaks Fell Race'. To the south is the Forest of Bowland, to the east is Lancaster and the coast with beautiful estuaries extending north and south from there. The Lake District is just north of us.
This is an ideal area for walking, mountaineering, both road and mountain biking, fishing, photography. Bird watching is another favourite with several local reserves.
