Things to do when you visit us in Cumbria Castle Court is set high up on the fells between two villages and is an ideal base for exploring the surrounding areas. Of course the lure of walking on the fells and round the lakes is strong for most visitors but there are plenty of other things to keep you occupied. |
The Lake District We are only 20 minutes from the most beautiful lake - Ullswater. Here you can take a leisurely trip across the lake on the steamers, and walk back round if you would like to.

The village of Shap is 1.5 miles from Castle Court. There is a good fish and chip shop open until 8pm. The Cream17 cafe is worth a visit and if you want a great meal try The Greyhound famous for its very good local food and hefty portions! There are three other pubs serving good food and now Mango - a restaurant (& guest house) in Shap, with a very unlikely and fabulously tasty menu!
