The Duddon Valley & Broughton in Furness

The Duddon Valley is just to the west of Coniston and is arguably " One of the undiscovered hidden gems" of The Lake District National Park.

Woodland is a beautiful little valley, just south of Coniston on the way to Broughton in Furness.

They both abound with fells, waterfalls, crags and streams; have several very good eating places, and are served well by the little old village of Broughton in Furness at their feet.

For those looking to stay for a while and explore, our two cottages here are ideal to relax and unwind and "get away from it all"

For those looking for traditional country pubs, why not try Blacksmiths Arms at Broughton Mills with excellent food and local beers, the Newfield Inn in the picturesque hamlet of Seathwaite or those looking for the best in real ale the Prince of Wales at Foxfield has it's own award winning brewery.
