Birchbank is a Lakeland farm on the fells between Coniston Water and the Duddon Estuary. You can enjoy some marvellous views of Coniston Old Man and the Furness fells or the Duddon Estuary from the many bridleways and footpaths which cross the farm and surrounding fell with only the sheep and birds for company. Our holiday accommodation comprises a self catering holiday cottage with 2 bedrooms and a small campsite with hardstanding, electric hookups and facilities.
The area is ideal for walkers, cyclists and birdwatchers and the Cumbria Way long distance footpath from Ulverston to Carlisle is only half a mile away. Cycle storage is available at the cottage and there are many bridleways and tracks to cycle on near Birchbank. The moment we had our tea and buns we knew we would enjoy our break, peaceful, picturesque and quaint.
All we can say is great, great, great.
