General Introduction
Lying at the foot of Ullock Pike, nestling under the grandeur of Skiddaw and overlooking meadows and woodland towards Bassenthwaite Lake, is Ullock Pike holiday apartment, one of four cottages in the converted barn at Parkergate offering self catering accommodation. The property is south west facing with fantastic views from every window towards Bassenthwaite Lake and the fells beyond.
There is walking from the front door both to the higher fells, in Dodd wood (where the Osprey’s nest can be seen from the viewing platforms during nesting season and red squirrels abound) and down to Bassenthwaite Lake. The lovely St Bega's church nestles on the Lake shore, said to be the inspiration for Alfred Tennyson's Morte d'Arthur after his visit there in 1835.
Bassenthwaite village is a thirty minute walk (1.5 miles) over the fields and is home to The Sun Inn which serves good meals and ales.
Ullock Pike can be booked along with Black Moss (sleeping 5) or with all the apartments in the barn, Black Moss, Calva and Whinlatter, providing accommodation for up to 16 persons.
