NEWTOWN HOLIDAY COTTAGE

Newtown House boasts impressively high ceilings and many original Georgian features. Just a mile and a half away, past a ruined Roman bath house, is the village of Ravenglass, a Roman port and favoured destination of smugglers. An isolated beach cove at the end of the drive is the perfect place for a picnic and there are miles of country walks to be enjoyed direct from the door.

Sunset at Ravenglass

Ravenglass is a wonderful starting point for exploring the Lake District with plenty of walks either along the coast or over Muncaster fell to Eskdale and the mountains beyond. It is also the starting point for the famous Ravenglass & Eskdale Steam Miniature Railway which makes a leisurely seven mile trip to the Eskdale Valley.

Burnmoor Stone Circle at Nearby Eskdale

There are two pubs in the village and also the Pennington Hotel & Restaurant which is open to non-residents (all are around 25 mins walk away). The village shop and post office sells a variety of food and newspapers and the Old Butchers Shop now sells gifts and crafts, as well as a comprehensive range of maps and guides. There is some reception for mobile phones on the Orange and Vodaphone network.
