Eskdale, Lake District

Idyllic Remote Location Above Eskdale & Scafell
Perched on Birker Moor high above the Eskdale Valley, this cosy holiday cottage offers a secluded hideaway surrounded by mountain scenery and vistas of nearby Scafell, England’s highest mountain range. Perfect for couples seeking a tranquil escape in the quiet western Lake District National Park, fell walks lead directly from your doorstep. Stroll down to Stanley Ghyll Waterfall (less than 1 mile) with its dramatic cantilevered viewing platform, explore the River Esk (2 miles) with its stepping stones and wild swimming pools, or hike to Devoke Water (1.5 miles), the largest tarn in the Lakes. Historic landmarks like Boot village (5.5 miles), Wastwater (11 miles), Scafell Pike (13 miles), Hardknott Roman Fort (9 miles), the Ravenglass & Eskdale Steam Railway (8 miles), and Muncaster Castle (7 miles) are all within easy reach.
