Perched on a bluff with breathtaking views of the Lakeland Fells, Blencowe Hall stands as a historic Grade I listed fortified manor house.

Despite the allure of sumptuous interiors, log-burning stoves, and comfortable couches, the estate encourages exploration. Stunning formal gardens and local walks await, and the village of Greystoke, only a mile away, offers traditional Cumberland fare at the local pub, the Boot and Shoe.
