Location and Places of Interest
in the Eden Valley

Eden Valley link

The property is situated in just two miles from the unique and quaint village of Kirkby
Stephen , which was formerly in the old county of Westmorland, now Cumbria and situated
on Wainwright's famous 'Coast to Coast' walk. In the 'Cathedral of the Dales', as the Parish
church of St Stephen is known, you will find the ancient 'Loki Stone' - symbol of an eighth
century Norse God. Kirkby Stephen has just been named as Calor Village of the Year for
England 2009 and Northern England Village of the Year 2009.

This is an area of Cumbria much less well known than the Lake District, but equally
appealing. A traditional small market town of historic buildings, cobbled yards, quaint
corners and interesting shops, it is surrounded by a landscape of pastoral rural scenery
and wild uplands. Kirkby Stephen has developed a strong and self-sufficient identity and a
vibrant sense of community and has a post office, grocers, greengrocers, convenience
stores, specialist food stores, bakers, newsagents, ironmongers, supermarket and chemist.
Also, an interesting range of antique shops, bookshops, craft shops, gift shops, galleries,
pubs, restaurants (including a Chinese and Indian) plus a tourist information centre.

Walk from here to the Nine Standards or explore Smardale Gill Nature Reserve.

Two miles in the other direction from Kaber and you reach the historic market town of
Brough with its 11th Century castle.

The nearest pubs to the chapel are The Bay Horse Inn in Winton
(which has some of the original pews from the chapel as seating)
and The Black Bull Inn in Brough Sowerby
both are within 20 minutes walking distance and serve good food.

Travel for nine miles on a narrow fell road with stunning scenery to enter Swaledale in the
Yorkshire Dales and visit The Tan Hill Inn, the highest inn in Great Britain at 1732 feet..
