Your nearest hub of amenities is in the village of Dalston , which is very well serviced. You can stock up on essentials; shop; dine out; enjoy fish and chips! The village has a Post Office, Butchers, Medical Practice and Pharmacy to name but a few of its facilities. There is a bus service from the centre of Dalston and a short walk to Dalston Railway Station. For those who enjoy walking and rambling, Dalston has an excellent network of footpaths and there is one starting only a few yards from the door of No.6. Many people enjoy a walk along the river Caldew and there is a dedicated cycle track between Dalston and Carlisle. In the village square lies the red sandstone church of St Michael’s dating back to the 13th century. Just a short walk from Rose Cottage is Rose Castle the former Palace of the Bishops of Carlisle, which is not open to the public but can be viewed from the road or the public footpath. Carlisle known as the Great Border City, lies 4.6 miles to the north of Dalston where you’ll find The Lanes Shopping Centre, a haven for keen shoppers. Whilst in the City you’ll also have the chance to tour Carlisle Castle, Carlisle Cathedral which is very close to Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery or you could stroll along the River Eden or enjoy the various green spaces, including Bitts Park which is close to the Castle. The Sands Centre is located within the City and has a vast programme of entertainment on offer as well as sports facilities, including a newly constructed swimming pool. For a wide range of shops; eating houses; entertainment or night life, Carlisle has much to offer. A short journey north from Carlisle takes you into Scotland and in particular Gretna Green, known historically for its runaway marriages. Gretna has an outlet village with a range of excellent shops. West Cumbria holds many attractions and a proud history covering waterways; industries and manufacturing. A few miles south you can visit the Lake District which usually needs no introduction but having it on our doorstep is something to be proud of.
