BOMBY, NR BAMPTON SELF CATERING COTTAGE HOLIDAYS

Bomby Cottage is a self catering property near Bampton, set in an area of green and pleasant countryside in the corridor of patchwork fields that lie between the River Eden and the Eastern Fells of the Lake District. This Bampton holiday cottage is ideally placed to explore the Lakeland summits around Haweswater. Haweswater was formerly a valley, Mardale, which was flooded to become a reservoir. In summer, there is a chance you will glimpse the tops of ruined buildings in the old village of Mardale, as the water level drops to reveal them. Bomby Cottage is also well placed to explore to the East and the old county of Westmorland, with its rolling green hills, pretty villages and miles of attractive footpaths and bridleways.

Of course, many if not all visitors to this part of the world are looking for great walks in the green and pleasant landscape, and this Bampton self catering cottage is ideal for just that, with footpaths picking up almost from the front door. A little further afield you can walk the Wainwright Fells around Haweswater, or twenty minutes or so in the car away is Ullswater and the great walks to be had looking over the stunning lake waters.

A Bampton self catering holiday property like Bomby Cottage is ideally placed to explore the wider area too. All of the Lake District is accessible, and the Eden Valley and its rich and unspoilt countryside are on the doorstep. The busy market town of Penrith lies twenty minutes drive away, ideal for stocking up on supplies and souvenirs, and day trips to Gretna Green, the Yorkshire Dales and Hadrian's Wall are just some of the possibilities available to tourists. If Bomby Cottage itself doesn't fit the bill for your holiday, others in the immediate vicinity include our Yanwath self catering cottages and the selection of pretty self catering properties in Askham.
