Follow the River Eden along Lady's Walk to a dog friendly pub at Edenhall or, for the more energetic cyclists, challenge yourself by tackling Hartside Pass. Jump on the Settle Carlisle railway, famous for its Victorian architecture, huge stone viaducts and tunnels and a great way to watch the scenery fly by. Historians should visit Hutton in the Forest, a historic house with extensive gardens and Brougham Castle is an evocative ruin that has an atmosphere all of its own.
