A peaceful town centre location with the convenience of local shops and country pubs close by, the Talkin Tarn nature reserve and its 65 acre lake is 2 miles away, lots of local woodland walks are close by.
The border city of Carlisle is 9 miles away with its Castle and Cathedral, and Gretna green in Scotland with the famous Blacksmiths shop also 9 miles away. Hadrians wall virtually runs through Brampton stretching 80 miles and is now a world heritage site you can walk part of it or all! the closest fort is Birdoswald, a few miles away and Lanercost priory are both worth a visit.
Further a field but within easy reach is the lake district national park, Ullswater a stunning North lake can be reached in 30 minutes its steamer can take you around the lake or you can walk, in my book not to miss. Also on the lake side is Airaforce a large waterfall surrounded by stunning countryside.
For those who like a bit of the city life, culture and history Newcastle and Edinburgh, Scotlands capital can be reached by train in a little over an hour from Carlisle, travelling through beautiful countryside on the way, or indeed you can drive. This is the ideal self catering property to discover some of the most beautiful and historic parts of Cumbria, Northumberland and the Scottish Borders. Perfect for families and groups of friends.
