BIRKHOW HOLIDAY COTTAGE
Birkhow holiday cottage is situated
in the centre of Eskdale village, with stunning views of the Eskdale
valley, one of the most tranquil parts of the Lake District. The
cottage itself is in beautiful order throughout, offering comfortable
accommodation for up to 6 people.

Eskdale
is a wonderful starting point for hundreds of walks, either on the
fells or along the banks of the River Esk, which flows from Scafell
at the top of the valley down to the estuary at Ravenglass,
an old fishing village complete with a ruined Roman bath-house.
The river has natural pools for swimming and is a popular place
for canoeing and fishing. The famous Ravenglass
& Eskdale Miniature Railway runs along the valley, its steam
trains making the leisurely seven-mile journey down to the sea.
- Irton Road station is just ten mins walk from Birkhow Cottage.

and serving real ales and a wide choice of good food. The village
shop is just a five minute walk away and sells a comprehensive
range of goods, including groceries, fresh fruit and vegetables,
food to go, alcohol and newspapers. There is some reception for
mobile phones on the Orange network.
