Syke End (cottage)

Home description

Syke End provides an ideal base from which to explore the stunning scenery and more tranquil setting of the south-west Lake District. Plan your trips using the guides and maps in the slate floored study, come back to the welcome of a warm Aga in the traditional beamed kitchen, snuggle up in the cosy sitting room in front of the wood-burning stove and drift off to sleep in one of the comfortable bedrooms.

If the weather allows, get the barbecue going in the south-facing garden and enjoy a glass or two sitting out by the summer house. Can't be bothered to cook on holiday? It's a short stroll up the road to several award-winning pubs offering good food, real ales and roaring fires.

Broughton-in-Furness lies close to the beautiful Duddon Valley and also to the coastal scenery of the south-western peninsula. Nearby lies Coniston Old Man while the better known Langdale and Wasdale valleys with the towns of Hawkshead, Grasmere and Ambleside are within an hour's drive. Broughton-in-Furness itself has excellent amenities such as a tourist information centre, cafes, post office, butcher, baker and grocery shop, as well as four pubs - each with its own unique character.

The Cumbria/Lake District

The Lake District has some of England's best known scenery with stunning mountain views and glorious lakes. The central area, around Windermere and Ambleside, attracts the majority of tourists but those heading to the south-western pennsula are rewarded with equally beautiful and more tranquil vistas. Here the mountains meet the coast to create a dramatic landscape. Together with its wide range of tourist attractions, historical sites and leisure activities, this part of the Lakes certainly rewards more than one visit.

Broughton-in-Furness area

Family days out near to Broughton-in-Furness include tiger-viewing at Dalton's South Western Animal Park, Muncaster Castle with its owl sanctuary and adventure playground, steam trains at Hatherwaite and minature ones at Eskdale, the Lakes Aquarium and boat trips on Coniston Water.

Lots of mountain walks and also less strenuous low level walks can be enjoyed such as around Tarn Hows or one in the village itself along a disused railway track. Cycling is also popular with a full set of mountain bike trails in nearby Grizedale Forest. There is a cycle hire shop in Broughton.

In the summer, many villages put on local shows (Broughton's one is at the end of August). Here you will get to see Cumberland wrestling, fell racing, stick making, sheep shearing and many other rural activities and skills.
