3 Bedroom Cottage in Wing, Brampton
Nestled in the market town of Brampton in Cumbria on the fringes of the Lake District National Park and close to Hadrian's Wall Path is Herdwick Cottage. This beautifully presented cottage is just a five-minute stroll into the centre of Brampton and is an ideal base for walkers and families exploring Cumbria and the Scottish Borders. After a busy day hiking, cycling, or wandering, kick off your walking boots before sinking into one of the plush velvet green sofas and flicking on the Smart TV; give your feet a rest and unwind here before preparing dinner in the fully equipped kitchen/diner. The rustic wooden dining table is a good space for five to dine together, maybe with a glass of wine or perhaps wander onto the patio surrounded by a pretty garden with the sound of the church clock of St Martin's. When sleep calls, retire to any of the bedrooms: there is a king size double, a twin and a single room all serviced by a sleek modern bathroom.

Choose Herdwick Cottage as your base for a relaxing countryside retreat to Brampton, Cumbria.
Brampton is the ideal location from which to explore Hadrian's Wall. The town's history dates back to the Roman occupation, Border reivers from Scotland, and the Jacobite uprisings. Additionally, Bonnie Prince Charlie established his headquarters in one of Brampton's old buildings. In the town's centre is Moot Hall, which was constructed in 1817 and now houses the Tourist Information Centre. To the east of the town is a large motte that is 135 feet tall and features a statue of the 7th Earl of Carlisle. A few miles outside of Brampton, Talkin Tarn Country Park can be found. It encompasses 120 acres of farmland and forest, 65 of which comprise the Tarn, a 10,000-year-old glacial lake fed by underground springs. Two miles away is Gelt Woods, an RSPB nature reserve and ancient woodland with the River Gelt running through it. Brampton is an ideal location from which to explore this historic and beautiful region.
