On the edge of the village, within sandstone walled grounds, Melmerby Hall sits between the foothills of the North Pennines, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and the Lake District. Just 9 miles from the historic market town of Penrith and 13 miles from Ullswater you’ll find plenty of breathtaking walks and ancient features like Long Meg and her Daughters, one of England’s largest Druidic stone circles.

The grounds include an archery lawn, Victorian brick walled gardens, traditional herbaceous borders with gravel paths and a Victorian castle folly at the foot of the lawn. The private forested grounds of 25 acres incorporate a small tributary of the River Eden.

Melmerby has a Village Bakery and shop which serves fantastic meals and take away coffee and baked goods. We recommend the lovely shop above the Bakery called Upstairs which has a carefully selected and beautifully displayed range of local giftware and fashion. The Shepherd’s Inn Pub in Melmerby also serves great food and local ales. The nearby villages of Kirkoswald and Ousby also have popular local pubs for those seeking a longer walk, cycle ride or a short drive. The Fetherstone Arms in Kirkowald has a great “steak night” on Mondays and “pie night” on Thursdays.
