The Locality

Morland is only five miles from the edge of the Lake District National Park, making it an excellent base for the eastern and northern Lakes. The Pennines, the North Yorkshire Dales and Hadrian's Wall are all within an hour's drive. The Eden Valley itself is very beautiful and largely under-explored with plenty of pretty walks and cycle routes.

Morland church with its Saxon tower is right next door and is the oldest structure in daily use in the north-west of England. The historic town of Appleby-in-Westmorland, with its castle and annual horse fair, is 8 miles east. Penrith is 8 miles north-west and just south of it is Mayburgh Henge, an historic Neolithic site, and the more recent Eden Millennium Monument.

Morland itself contains several attractions of interest - the central square has the Mill Yard Cafe, the Crown Inn pub, and Travelling2, a local travel and hot-weather clothing company. See the links to the right.

We keep plenty of leaflets about local attractions in the house.
