The Troutbeck Valley sits at the start of the dramatic Kirkstone Pass, is a haven of peaceful grazing land, scattered rural homes and pretty woodlands surrounded by many walks. Leading north toward Brotherswater & Ullwater, and south to Windermere & Bowness. So despite your blissful seclusion, you are close to a fabulous selection of cafes, shops, bars, restaurants, walks galore and lake cruises.
The village of Troutbeck, has the excellent Mortal Man pub, and the Queens Head Inn, both renowned for their locally sourced food and accompanied by real Lakeland ales. In the village is the National Trust Townend House & Garden, for a quintessential trip back in time to how the Farming family of the Brownes lived, and a lovely local church. There is also a small local shop serving coffee and bakery.
