Millbeck is wonderfully situated in the heart of peaceful Lorton Vale in the Lake District National Park. The twin villages of High Lorton and Low Lorton are about 1 mile way, home to the Lorton Village Shop (‘Shed with a View’) and the Wheatsheaf Inn.
The unspoilt market town of Cockermouth, one of only 51 towns in Great Britain designated a ‘Gem’ town, is a few minutes drive away. The beautiful lakes of Buttermere, Loweswater and Crummock Water are within easy reach, as is the famous Kirkstile Inn.
For anyone looking to explore the western Lakeland Fells, this is an ideal base. Whiteside and Grasmoor are within walking distance of the house and many of its finest peaks such as Haystacks, Great Gable and Fleetwith Pike are a short drive away. Whinlatter Forest (‘England’s only true mountain forest’) is nearby, a must for hikers, bikers and runners
