THE LOCATION The convenience of the location is superb yet in an area unspoilt by mass tourism but offering some of the most beautiful scenery in the county. The area is both peaceful and less developed than some parts of the Lakes yet the dramatic landscape is all around. The fells of the northern lakes which rise up from Bassenthwaite, Ullswater and Derwentwater include such famous and dramatic fells as Skiddaw and Blencathra. Nearby are the Caldbeck fells with their more gentle grass covered peaks of High Pike and Carrock. Views from Monkhouse Hill are superb with a panoramic vista of some 30 miles over the Eden Valley. The local villages of Caldbeck and Hesket Newmarket are just a short distance by car. The location of Monkhouse Hill Lake District Cottages makes it ideally suited for visiting the three centres of Keswick, Penrith and Carlisle and for day trips to the southern lakes, Hadrian's Wall and Southern Scotland. Also not to be forgotten are the beaches of the Solway Firth and West Cumbria, areas noted for their significant birdlife.
