Ireby nestles in the Caldbeck Fells is a picturesque corner of the Lake District with mountains and lakes on your doorstep, yet far enough away from the tourist hotspots to ensure a peaceful and relaxing break away. The Caldbeck Fells provide excellent opportunities for walking and hiking with various trails suitable for all levels of fitness including Skiddaw and Blencathra. The vistas from the fell tops are breathtaking on a clear day you can see over the Solway Coast to Scotland beyond and to the south Bassenthwaite Lake with Derwentwater beyond glistens in the sunshine beckoning you to explore. There are a number of friendly villages including Caldbeck itself, with stream feeding the duck pond, a number of cafes serving freshly baked treats and village inn serving local ales and mouthwatering food. Perfectly based to explore the northern Lake District, a short 15 minute drive or a walk over the ‘Back o Skiddaw’ takes you to the market town of Keswick with shops, restaurants, cafes and pubs, if the walk back is to much there are excellent public transport links ensuring a safe return.
