About this property

With the ascent of Blencathra starting outside your door and the bustling town of Keswick 6 miles away, there is something to suit everyone here.

Scales is a tiny hamlet on the A66 which provides easy access to the wider area. Surrounded by quiet roads that are ideal for cycling and lots of walking routes to suit all abilities, this is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts on two and four legs. Threlkeld is 2 miles along the road and is a delightful village, boasting three pubs, one of which is across the road so a hearty, home cooked meal is always available. Just 3 miles away, the Threlkeld Quarry & Mining Museum is a great day out, with tours taking you on an underground railway. Tackling the Skiddaw and Blencathra ranges are not for the faint hearted and the mountain trials at Whinlatter Forest Park will delight the mountain bikers amongst you.
