Location

Most places like to boast about their location. We prefer that you judge for yourself - but we're pretty sure you'll like it.

The Druids found inspirational viewpoints for their mystical stone circles nearby while the Romans built highways across the fells in an efficient manner. Wordsworth wrote his celebrated lines about daffodils not far from this spot and now you can create your own memories in this ancient landscape.

Eight miles from the bustling market town of Penrith (just off the M6, Junction 40), a five minute drive from the lakside village of Pooley Bridge (home to no less than three pubs) and situated above the ever-changing face of Ullswater, High Barton is an exceptional 'find'.

Yes, you need a car to get here and get around. But will you want to use it?

Probably not.
