Sedbergh, known as the Book Town of England, is located at the northern end of the Dentdale valley. It's cobbled streets, narrow lanes and historic buildings makes it easy to loose an afternoon or two whilst browsing the selection of traditional shops and eateries. Once you have worked up an an appetite why not enjoy a meal at the award winning Black Bull Inn. For those who want to stretch their legs a little further, Sedbergh is surrounded by stunning scenery and some of the best walking in the country. Head to the highest waterfall, Cautley Spout, or blow the cobwebs away on the 10 mile Dales Way. Cyclists can also hop onto National Cycle Network Route 68.
Other nearby activities include visiting the nearby pretty cobbled village of Dent (where you can jump on the Settle to Carlisle Railway), or play a round of golf at Sedbergh Golf Club. Water sports enthusiasts can enjoy sailing, windsurfing or canoeing on Killington Lake, whilst adreneline junkies can go caving at Ingleton. Head west to Windermere and explore the southern Lakes, or south to the Forest of Bowland - perfect for mountain biking and walking.
You can choose to do as little or as much as you like, but Elephant House provides the perfect retreat to rest and relax at the end of the day.
