The Old Byre

Cockermouth and the North West Fells, North West England

The Old Byre sits near Cockermouth in Cumbria, within the North West Fells, and sleeps four, making it a fitting choice for a small family or a group of friends keen to explore this part of the Lake District.

Local history is well represented nearby, with JB Banks Ironmongers, Fleming Square, and Maryport Maritime Museum all within a few miles. Maryport station gives a nearby rail connection, and Allonby beach, with good water quality, is around five miles off for days spent by the sea or simply taking in the coastal views.
