I am a retired company director and now work part time as a consultant. I live in The Peak District and enjoy country walks and hill climbing. As a family, we love spending time at The Old Stables, enjoying the beautiful open spaces and the wildlife.

Uniquely the Mallerstang valley is close to the lakes and Dales, yet is within easy access of motorways. We regularly see red squirrels in the valley and often in our garden. The hamlet consists of some 12 houses, plus a historic church. One of the many walks from the house follows the river Eden and takes you past three ruined castles, including Pendragon Castle which was Lady Anne Clifford’s favourite. She was a seventeenth century aristocrat who travelled between her castles along Lady Anne’s way part of which is accessed half a mile down the road. In the summer you can catch a vintage bus outside the house to Hawes and return on foot on Lady Anne’s Way. The Settle Carlisle railway runs along the other side of the valley and can be joined at Kirkby Stephen. Steam trains Run on the line throughout the year. Appleby, with its annual horse fair is about fifteen miles away.
