Dufton is a popular and beautiful fellside village featuring a wide village green and boasts its own village pub serving hot food and real ales which is just a two minute walk from The Apartment.
Dufton is on the Pennine Way and there are some truly fabulous fell walks right on the doorstep. Dufton Pike is immediately behind the property and a great ‘starter’ walk. High Cup Nick is another local walk and which provides some magnificent views of the lovely Eden Valley. For something less strenuous before dinner, opposite the hall is some beautiful ancient woodland which also provides a fabulous walk, particularly in the early spring when the Bluebells are out.
The Apartment is ideally placed to visit the stunning Lake District National Park with famous fells and walks like Helvelyn in easy reach. Dufton is also on the doorstep of The Yorkshire Dales National Park which similarly offers some of the most beautiful countryside in the UK.
For other days out, Ullswater is the nearest lake. Why not visit Pooley Bridge and take the Ullswater Steamer to fully appreciate its full majestic beauty. Keswick and Derwentwater are also within a 40 minute drive and the famous Windermere, Bowness and Ambleside are just an hour or so away to fully explore. No visit to the area would be complete without experiencing the Lake District world of Beatrix Potter and Wordsworth!!
For other days out try the Rheged Visitors Centre at Penrith or take a train to Settle or Leeds from Appleby on the famous Settle to Carlisle railway line (some days steam trains run this route).
The village of Dufton sits at the foot of the Pennine Fells, a close distance from the market town of Appleby with lots of local amenities available and excellent transport links to the A66 and to Penrith providing a charming and rural location with an active village community.
