Within the Lake District National Park, you can experience true rural isolation and a little taste of heaven at Lake District Farm. There’s a network of walks starting right from your doorstep! peaceful beaches at the Solway Firth, and the beautiful lakes such as Ullswater, Derwentwater, and Bassenthwaite. The market town of Keswick isn’t far if you want to pop back to civilisation. Though the farm you might just want to retreat into nature completely.
The Stobart family have farmed at Lake District Farm for over 20 years. Lake District is a 300-acre traditional sheep and cattle farm that is worked in a sustainable manner as part of the Countryside Stewardship Scheme. John is passionate about his livestock, particularly his Highland cattle. The lambs in spring, prize-winning Highland cattle and a stream to paddle in are all just a stone’s throw from the tents. Unfortunately, however, dogs cannot be accommodated.
Christine is well known for her homemade produce, which you can sample at the pretty farm pantry in the barn. Lake District Farm is best summed up by the comment of a delighted former guest: “John made us laugh, Christine’s food made us drool, and Sarah taught us how to feed lambs. It was truly one of the best holidays we’ve ever had”.
A rich slice of rural English life is served up almost every week in the area from June to September in the form of agricultural shows. You might even be able to see John there with his prize livestock, as he’s a regular trophy winner. The farm is also a short stroll from the charming village of Hesket Newmarket. It boasts a lovely children’s play area, the Hesket Newmarket Brewery Cooperative, and the very popular Old Crown Pub.
