The garden extends to 4½ acres and overlooks the Lyth valley with extensive views south to Morecambe Bay and east to the Howgills. We have orchards, a wildflower meadow and more formal garden with a range of outbuildings. Over the last 8 yrs the garden has been developed with plantings that provide varying colour and texture year-round. Some parts of the garden are accessed by steps.
