Lying between the Yorkshire Dales, Lancashire and the Lake District National Parks, these two holiday homes are perfect for those wanting to explore the surrounding areas. Treacle Cottage (ref UK12912) is a first floor apartment, whilst Threagill Cottage (ref UK12913) is on the ground floor. They are situated next to the owner’s working dairy farm, which has been in the family for over three generations and has been supplying fresh milk for the villagers for years. So why not sit back and relax from the comfy sofa and enjoy views over to Ingleborough all while watching the cows coming in for milking twice a day. As you arrive at the property there will even be some fresh milk for you to try!
A short walk away is the village of Warton village with its local pub, where you can enjoy a traditional pub meal and local ales.
If you like walking, Warton Crag is close by and is a prominent limestone crag which offers a fantastic opportunity to see views right across Morecambe Bay. There is a lovely picnic area at Warton Crag Quarry and many walks leading to surrounding nature reserves. The walk is within the spectacular Arnside and Silverdale Area of Outstanding Beauty. This region is also very popular with nature lovers, bird watchers and cyclists all taking in the shoreline, woodlands and marshlands (where you will also find the RSPB Leighton Moss close by).
The property is situated between Cumbria, Yorkshire and Lancashire, which makes exploring the North West of England incredibly easy, and the motorway is just a few minutes’ drive away.
The Yorkshire Dales offers fantastic walking, waterfall trails, caving, the Three Peaks challenge and stimulating cycling routes, and is only a 30-minute drive. If shopping and history is more up your street, then just 15 minutes’ south you can be in the wonderful city of Lancaster, boasting a bustling high street and food markets every Wednesday and Saturday. The south Lakes is a short 30-minute drive north where there are an abundance of outdoor and indoor activities, and tourist attractions to keep you busy! Beach 5 miles. Shop 2¼ miles, pub and restaurant 530 yards.
Home comforts in a Eco house or cottage near the beach? North West England is such an easy place to travel. You will see cottages that welcome dogs in The Lake District, Cumbria , Blackpool or Penrith - some have disabled acccess.
