Irton House Farm is set in 240 acres of pasture and woodland and commands
probably one of the finest views to be found in the Northern Lakes. It
is a working sheep farm and was chosen as the venue for the BBC series
'One Man and His Dog'.
Within easy driving distance are Derwent Water, Thirlmere, Ullswater
and the famous waterfall 'AirForce', Buttermere, Loweswater and Crummock
Water. The towns of Keswick and Cockermouth, the birthplace of the poet
William Wordsworth, are also nearby.
Irton House Farm is ideal for a peaceful holiday, the majestic view and
surrounding wildlife provides ideal inspiration for artists and photographers.
More energetic pursuits such as Sailing, Cycling, Horse Riding, Golf and
Fishing are all available nearby. Keen hill walkers and climbers are ideally
situated to explore the fantastic range of northern fells, including Skiddaw,
Blencathra and the Caldbeck Fells. After a busy day you can relax and
unwind at one of the local pubs or simply enjoy the comfort of your chosen
accommodation at Irton House.
