Borwick Lodge
Borwick Lodge is a rather special 17th century country
residence of charm and character pleasantly secluded within
3 acres of beautiful landscaped gardens, surrounded by
fields and fells in an area of outstanding natural beauty in
all seasons. There is ample parking within the grounds where
the car can be forsaken for one of a number of short walks,
including the famous Tarn Hows, where magnificent views are
there for the taking in return for a little gentle exercise;
the more adventurous might like to explore the higher fells
in the Coniston area which are within easy access.
Borwick Lodge is no longer
trading as a guest house |
