Ellerbeck Cottage

Caldbeck Fells, North West England

Ellerbeck Cottage
Tucked away in the Caldbeck Fells, Cumbria, Ellerbeck Cottage sleeps four and suits families or friends looking for a rural Lake District escape. It's the kind of place where the surrounding fells themselves are the main attraction.

Wildlife enthusiasts have two options within easy reach: the Lake District Wildlife Park at 7.1 miles and Knox Wood Wildlife Centre at 7.6 miles. Threlkeld Quarry & Mining Museum, a little further at 9.2 miles, offers a change of pace for a rainy afternoon. Wigton station, 6.8 miles away, is the nearest railway link. Given the distances involved, a car is likely to make the most of what's nearby, though the cottage itself offers a genuinely secluded base for those wanting to unwind away from it all.
