Potts

Named after the tranquil limestone valley, 4km away

No dogs

Named after Potts Valley, a serene limestone valley 4km from Tarn Sike. Potts Beck flows translucent and clear over its limestone bed through a landscape of dramatic scars, ancient woodland and wildflower meadows. The valley is home to the remarkable Water Houses clapper bridge — a scheduled monument of seven great stone flags spanning the beck. A perfect starting point for exploration, Potts Valley rewards walkers with natural beauty and quiet history in equal measure.

Sunbiggin

Named after the ancient tarn whose waters flow through our retreat, 2km away

Dog friendly

Named after Sunbiggin Tarn, 2km from your door. Our retreat takes its name from the Tarn Sike — the stream that flows through our land — which rises from Cow Dub, a smaller lake directly linked to Sunbiggin Tarn. This nationally important SSSI and Special Area of Conservation supports a rich tapestry of wildlife — tufted duck, lapwing, teal and little grebe share the water with rare orchids and plant species found nowhere else in England. Wake to the sounds of nature at its most undisturbed, knowing the water before you connects, lake to stream, all the way back to Sunbiggin Tarn itself.

Rayseat

Named after the Neolithic long cairn on the moor, 2.5km away

No dogs

Named after Rayseat Long Cairn, a remarkable Neolithic monument on Ravenstonedale Moor just 2.5km from Tarn Sike, south of Sunbiggin Tarn. This ancient burial cairn — some 179 feet long and over 4,000 years old — was excavated in 1864, revealing the cremated remains of at least five Neolithic adults. Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Howgill Fells, it stands as a profound connection to the deep human history of this landscape, reached by a short walk across open moorland under enormous Cumbrian skies.

Gamelands

Named after the ancient stone circle just 2.5km away

Dog friendly

Named after Gamelands Stone Circle, one of the largest stone circles in Cumbria, just 2.5km from Tarn Sike on the edge of Raisbeck. This extraordinary Neolithic monument — some 40 stones arranged in a great oval nearly 100 yards in circumference — dates to around 1800–1400 BC and is protected as a Scheduled Monument. From Gamelands, a short hike leads to Castle Folds, the remains of a Roman settlement, layering millennia of human history into a single walk. Stand among ancient stones and feel thousands of years of presence beneath an open Cumbrian sky.
