Something for Everyone
At Drybeck
Although we have the Lake District and the North Pennines on our doorstep, there is much to do in and around Drybeck. You could simply relax by the river or take a stroll through the woods. There are also ideal spots along the local section of the river for wild swimming.
The Eden Valley is a great cycling venue, with many miles of quiet lanes and byways. If you require, we can arrange cycle hire and suggest routes. There are also plenty of walking routes, whether down the river towards Wetheral or upstream to Armathwaite. and the ancient rock carvings can be found in the Eden Gorge, Coombe Woods, or around High Stand.
At the end of the day, why not relax under the stars in our hot-tub? Alternatively, you can enjoy the village and a pint in one or both of our pubs, or just sit back and watch the local wildlife.

There is no shortage of things to do using Drybeck Farm as your base - from the Lake District to the Borders
The Eden Valley
The Eden Valley is steeped in history, heritage, and wildlife, with many mystical and magical attractions such as the Long Meg Stone Circle, Lacy’s Caves, and the fascinating watermill all close to the village of Little Salkeld. Enjoy the Eden Valley’s artisan food producers, eateries, and local farmers’ markets – a foodie’s heaven – all set among stunning scenery.
Discover Carlisle
If you want to travel further afield, the Armathwaite station on the Carlisle-Settle line is just a 20-minute walk away. From here you can take a short ride to the ancient border city of Carlisle, with its castle, cathedral, museum, and shopping centre. There are also connections from here to Newcastle, Glasgow, Edinburgh, and all stops south. You can also travel by train into the upper Eden Valley, exploring the market towns of Appleby and Kirkby Stephen, their surrounding countryside and fells, and beyond into the Yorkshire Dales.
The Lakes
Easily reached by car is the Lake District, with its beautiful lakes, valleys, dramatic high fells, and the borderlands, including Hadrian's Wall. Only a stone’s throw away is the little-known Solway Coast.
