Kirksanton is a great place to explore the South Lakes and beautiful coastal areas, yet is only 17 miles from Coniston Water. Despite the fact the Cumbrian Coast is less than a mile away the presence of Black Combe is a constant reminder of the Cumbrian Fells and presents a great opportunity to climb, whilst staying at Hall Green Farm. The views of the Lake District from the top of Black Combe, Englands highest hill, are well worth the effort. On a clear day you can also see the Isle of Man, Dumfries in Scotland, Anglesey in Wales and the Blackpool Tower.
There our many visitor attractions near by including Hodbarrow RSPB reserve, which is the largest Cumbrian Coastal Lagoon. This is a short drive away in the seaside village of Haverigg.
Muncastor castle is also short drive away located near the village of Ravenglass. It boasts a haunted castle, hawk and owl center and extensive gardens. (http://www.muncaster.co.uk/)
Also in Ravenglass you can find a narrow gauge railway fondly known as La’al Ratty. Steam engines take visitors up a 7 mile route of spectacular scenery to the foot of the Scafell ranges, England’s highest mountains. (http://ravenglass-railway.co.uk/) Ravenglass is also the start of Hadrains Wall and Roman Baths can still be viewed.
Duddon Valley is a jewel in the crown of Cumbria, situated between Coniston and Eskdale, only a short drive from Cornerstones. A perfect valley for walkers, mountain bikers, climbers and nature lovers, all of whom will enjoy peace and beauty in abundance. The Newfield Inn at Seathwaite is also well worth a visit, with its home cooked foods and real ales. (http://www.newfieldinn.co.uk/)
Finally Kirksanton also boasts a great gastropub which is a meat eaters delight. The King Billy won’t disappoint. Steaks and Ribs are its specialty. People travel from up and down the Cumbrian coast to enjoy a meal at the King Billy so we recommend you book to avoid any disappointment. (http://www.king-billy.com )
