Eden Valley

At the moment the country to the south of Carlisle is a little bit outside the area where we have our self catering cottages.However we hope soon to be able to offer accommodation in the Eden Valley.

This is really a delightful part of England.The valley runs from Appleby in Westmoreland through to where it opens onto the Solway plains and the medieval border city of Carlisle. The predominant bedrock is Penrith red sandstone with its distinctive colour and easily worked stone.

Cumbria as a whole is a dairy county heavily dependent upon the dairy herds. However the Eden Valley shares it's riches with sheep farmers as well.

So if you are exploring Hadrian's Wall country why not take a day or so to explore a little further south. It is really beautiful down in the Eden Valley.
