Longsleddale itself is regarded as one of the least spoilt valleys providing spectacular natural scenery but away from the main tourist routes as the valley is a no-through road. The Estate is very accessible, lying only 5 miles from Kendal with the M6 motorway less then 10 miles to the east making access remarkably easy. The Estate itself lies mainly within a ring fence to the west side of the valley with flat meadow and pasture land bordering the river rising up through the wooded hillside to Dockernook Cragg, a magnificent viewpoint from where the moorland rises gently to approximately 400 metres above sea level at the highest point.

  • A Brief History of Kentmere
    A Brief History of Kentmere Our story probably begins around 4000BC and it is likely that the first people to inhabit this valley were wandering groups who came here in the later Stone Age. At that time our hills were almost covered in forest and the few animals they had with them would graze along the edge of the wooded areas gradually clearing them. By Roman times much of the forest had been driven back so even in those early days farming had a significant impact upon the landscape and the farmers’ work over centuries eventually led to the attractive patchwork of fields, walls and woodland that we have today. It is probable that the first people to settle here were here came during the Iron Age. They would be Celtic farmers who between 100BC and AD400 built small communities in the valley. Four of these settlements have been discovered. The sites of their huts – although now little more that piles of stone – are still visible. The site at Millriggs is particularly interesting. A glass bracelet dating from AD150 was found there. The Romans came to this part of the world around AD90. They built a fort at Watercrook, Kendal and another at Galava, Ambleside and the road linking them ran through Kentmere. This road would be used by local people as well and perhaps there was a measure of trade with the Roman soldiers. Two places – ‘High Street’ and Broadgate’ show evidence of a paved road above Kentmere to the west although after the Romans left around AD400 the forts and roads all fell into disrepair and ruin.

    The Occasional Papers of the Staveley and District History Society Number 12 KENTMERE HALL AND THE GILPINS 1373 -1672 By Joe Scott based on a talk given at a Society meeting Feb 9th 1999 As the plan below shows the pele tower on the left Kentmere Hall is the most picturesque of the late is the oldest part. A spiral stair in its north-east mediaeval fortified houses of the Kendal area. corner led up to the upper floors. The stonework Some like Burneside are far more dilapidated; of the central part, the hall, and the cross wing on others like Sizergh have been transformed into the right shows that they were built up to a stately homes. But Kentmere has not changed hundred years after the tower. Before this there very much in the last 300 years. may have been an earlier Hall, probably a single storey building with a thatched roof on a timber frame. 2 The tower, with its complex battlements and turrets and its elegant window was built in an age when stone buildings were rare, and when the sandstone for the window surrounds had to be brought from miles away on packhorses. Another striking feature of the Hall is its position. There is no sign of an outer defensive wall, and the site is overlooked from high ground within easy bowshot on three sides. Despite the impressive machicolation, defenders on the roof parapet would have been an easy target. The Hall may have provided some security against a gang of unruly neighbours in the disorderly years of the later Middle Ages, we may suspect from its The main room of the first floor had an elegant position as well as its elegance that its builder was window facing south, a fireplace and a door into thinking more of prestige and status than of real the upper part of the hall, as well as doors to the tactical defence.
