About Galesyke
Galesyke is set in an envious location a mile from the foot of the lake. There are many walks nearby around this dramatic, less well known & less crowded, area of the Western Lake District.
Galesyke
4 acre garden combining formal areas, shrubberies and woodland, dissected by the River Irt which can be crossed by a suspension bridge. In spring the garden is vibrant with azaleas and rhododendrons, in summer by an impressive collection of colourful hydrangeas. Set in the heart of the Wasdale valley the garden has an unforgettable backdrop of the Screes and the high Lakeland fells.
