In the words of John Ruskin, here are `moorland, sweet river and English forest at their best'. Set deep in the heart of the magnificent Lune Valley, which has been captured and immortalised on canvas in J.M.W. Turner's `Ruskin's View', these five properties are surrounded by rolling countryside, grass fields and mature trees. Standing alone, whilst they enjoy shared use of an outdoor heated swimming-pool, they are detached from each other and benefit from separate locations within the owners' extensive country estate.

As comfortable as they are uniquely charming, the Lune Valley Cottages are ideally situated for exploring an area steeped in history and rich in natural beauty. Routed trails and footpaths wind through the estate grounds, which are a haven to an abundance of wildlife and the perfect country for walkers.

There are opportunities to try fishing on the private stretches of the river, renowned for its sea trout in the summer and salmon in September and October. An 18-hole golf course forms part of the estate. Alternatively, those wishing to venture further afield will find the stunning scenery of the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District National Park an invigorating tonic away from the hustle and bustle of modern living.

A number of National Trust and other private houses and gardens (including the world-famous topiary gardens at Levens Hall), open to the public during the spring and summer, are within easy reach. Windermere, home to the largest lake in England, is 20miles, and here rowing boats can be hired for a leisurely trip on the water, or stylish steamers and vintage cruiser sail across the lake. Nearby Bowness is famous world-wide for The World of Beatrix Potter family attraction as well as the Steamboat Museum.
The market town of Kendal is around a 10-mile drive and boasts several fascinating museums, a ruined castle and a fine art gallery. For an interesting day trip Lancaster is well worth a visit - the county town of Lancashire dates back to Roman times and is characterised by a legacy of predominantly Georgian buildings. The castle boasts a fascinating history - built in 1093, it was added to throughout medieval times, becoming a crown court and prison in the 18th century, a role it still fulfills today.

Other attractions in the town include a Museum of Childhood, a Maritime Museum and a museum charting the history of Lancaster. Morecambe Bay is easily reached, and has a recently renovated Stone Jetty and a new arts centre, but the sweep of the bay is still the major attraction, with the local sunsets a renowned phenomenon. The seaside of the West Coast of England is only about 12miles, while Kirkby Lonsdale's shops, inns and restaurants are between two to three miles.
