GET OUTDOORS IT’S TIME TO EXPLORE

An Eden adventure can be as diverse as the Eden landscape. From the rugged peaks to the undulating valley and from high energy activities to more relaxing pastimes.

The characteristics of the land define Eden’s three distinct regions; the mountains and lakes of Ullswater, rolling countryside of the Eden Valley and the moorlands of Alston & the North Pennines. The three areas connect seamlessly to create breathtaking scenery and rich heritage for you to explore and enjoy. Follow us on Twitter.com@Visiteden Join us on Facebook ‘Visit Eden’

Alston & the North Pennines

The North Pennines designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty has a reputation as the most peaceful and unspoilt area in England. The historic market town of Alston is one of the main hubs in the North Pennines. Walking through the cobbled streets, the heritage is apparent with the Hub Museum and some of the delightful old buildings all providing a taste of the past. Today, arts and crafts provide a colourful contrast to its industrial heritage with many shops and galleries offering unique pieces.

www.visiteden.co.uk

The Eden Valley

The River Eden flows through the heart of the region and shapes the countryside to form the enchanting Eden Valley. Three thriving market towns; Penrith, Kirkby Stephen and Appleby provide a range of unique experiences that can only be found in Eden. Explore Neolithic and Bronze Age heritage at the Penrith and Eden Museum, learn about the history of the horse fair in Appleby, or enjoy an afternoon’s trout fishing on the River Eden.

Ullswater

The Ullswater area lies within the Lake District National Park and provides a popular area for outdoor activities. Lakeland villages and lofty peaks provide a variety of possibilities to lure and inspire. The unrivalled beauty of Lake Ullswater has provided a scenic backdrop for centuries from William Wordsworth’s ‘Daffodils’ to the enchanting tale of ‘Miss Potter’.

journey into

Eden’s past

EXPLORE THE CULTURE & HISTORY OF EDEN

From mysterious Neolithic sites to imaginative modern sculptures, Eden has it all. A mix of vibrant towns and stirring landscapes to ignite the spark of inspiration. A range of artists, sculptors, poets and writers have all been invigorated by Eden. William Wordsworth’s poem “Airey-Force Valley” and W H Auden’s “Alston Moor” both celebrate Eden’s unique landscape. The magnificent limestone pavement at Orton Scar affords stunning views over the Eden Valley across to the serene beauty of Ullswater. For an historical adventure explore the ancient stone circle of Long Meg and her Daughters, the fascinating Lacy’s Caves on the banks of the River Eden, or Shap Abbey. Modern art has also made its mark. The Eden Benchmarks, great carved stone sculptures were inspired by the local landscape and are located along the River Eden. Try visiting all ten sculptures, following the path of the river, or go on the hunt for Andy Goldsworthy’s sheepfolds.

Be inspired as you walk along Kirkby Stephen’s Poetry Path or for something a little more challenging, the Pennine Way which runs through Alston and Garrigill. Travel back in time to unravel the mysteries behind Eden’s earliest remaining castles and churches. Explore the myths surrounding the tenth century Loki stone depicting the Norse God of mischief Loki in Kirkby Stephen Parish Church, or the Arthurian legends at Pendragon Castle.

take a little

time for yourself

TRANQUIL RELAXING EXPERIENCES

With huge areas of rural tranquillity, Eden is the perfect place to relax and get away from it all. You can meander along country lanes, through the peaceful valleys and the tranquil villages of this quieter part of Cumbria. Sit back and enjoy the beautiful countryside from the carriage of a restored train on either the South Tynedale Railway at Alston or the Eden Valley Railway at Warcop. Or take in the breathtaking mountain views aboard a “Steamer” on Ullswater lake. Alternatively, take a leisurely stroll around the relaxing gardens at Hutton-in-the-Forest, Acorn Bank, Dalemain, Askham Hall gardens or Lowther Castle & Gardens. Treat yourself to something unusual for your own garden at Larch Cottage Nurseries or The Pot Place whilst enjoying the interesting displays. Most have tea rooms for a welcome break while you watch the world go by!

A spot of fishing for trout on the River Eden may well be your way of getting away from it all or a round of golf at the Riverside Golf Club at Ravenstonedale near Kirkby Stephen, a picturesque course in an idyllic setting. As well as appreciating the natural beauty of the outdoors, there are many ways to wind down indoors. Art lovers will want to visit Beckstones Art Gallery and Upfront Gallery both set in lovely rural locations in the peaceful Eden countryside.

adventure

ACTION PACKED ACTIVITIES

From the highest peaks to the lowest valleys, Eden is the ideal setting for your action-packed, adrenaline-fuelled adventures... Eden is the ideal location for a whole host of amazing outdoor adventures, including walking, mountain biking, skiing and rock climbing.

Experience Eden from horseback with riding centres catering for riders of all abilities, or for those who like doing things a little bit differently, llama trekking near Penrith!

Eden provides a wide range of physical activities in some of the most breathtaking locations: paragliding over Mallerstang, sailing on Ullswater, or hiking in the Howgills near Kirkby Stephen, a ‘Walkers are Welcome’ town.

Country fairs, sporting events and music festivals all provide a different type of adventure. Lowther Park hosts the annual Kendal Calling music festival that features a wide selection of rock and pop artists.

It is also a paradise for cyclists with miles of peaceful country lanes, or rocky terrain for mountain biking enthusiasts, plus cycle routes including the coast to coast and Walney to Wear.

For the more traditional shows there are agricultural events in Appleby, Penrith and Skelton as well as the ancient Rushbearing Festivals in Musgrave and Warcop.

Shap and Alston are ideal areas to enjoy a range of walks and both have recently achieved ‘Walkers are Welcome’ status.

eat drink & discover

from bakeries to breweries, sample eden’s local produce

The wide range of specialist shops, places to eat, bustling markets and awardwinning food and drink outlets make Eden an unmissable culinary adventure. Unwind in one of the cafés, tea rooms or farm shops. Why not sample the menus of the numerous award-winning restaurants, pubs and cafés? From the North Lakes Hotel, Penrith to the Watermill in Little Salkeld, Eden has a huge variety of places to satisfy the palate. Eden is full of small independent producers of tasty local food, more and more of whom use regionally sourced ingredients.

Markets in Penrith, Brough and Orton offer a tempting selection of local food and drink, sold by the farmers and producers themselves, ensuring maximum quality and freshness. Cranston’s Meat Pies, Kennedys Chocolates, and Ales from Tirril Brewery are just a selection of the award-winning delights that Eden has to offer. Local treats include Abbott Lodge Jersey Ice Cream, and Penrith Toffee and Fudge or, for something a little stronger then, High Cup Wines have their own vineyard and winery to compliment the local cheeses produced at the Appleby Creamery.

attractions

Alston, Eden Valley & Ullswater

Enjoy a walk around the amazing gardens at Lowther Castle, Acorn Bank, and Dalemain, a trip on the Settle Carlisle railway (arguably the most scenic railway route in the United Kingdom) or a multitude of activities at Penrith leisure centre, the choice is yours. A steamer trip on Ullswater offers fantastic panoramas of the lake and mountains and soon a new pier will connect with the National Trust attraction, Aira Force. The single cruises will give passengers the opportunity to enjoy the new footpath between Aira Force and Glenridding with its spectacular lake views.

The delights of local ice cream can be sampled at Abbott Lodge or Brough Castle Ice Cream Parlour – perfect whatever the weather. Castles, climbing, cycling and the large screen IMAX cinema at Rheged also add to the exciting mix of things to do and see in the area.

shopping

Alston, Eden Valley & Ullswater

Galleries and craft shops, farmers markets and local produce, specialist shops and cafes all add to the varied and individual shopping experience in Eden.

Shopping for antiques is a must in Kirkby Stephen and the backdrop of the River Eden in Appleby makes shopping for gifts and local produce a delight.

The market town of Penrith was traditionally where farmers brought their produce for sale by horse and cart. The need for stabling explains the many interesting alleyways which led from the front door of inns to the stables behind.

Why not treat yourself or take home as a gift a selection of Kennedys fine chocolate, a hamper of local produce from Cranstons Food Hall or a special bottle from the High Cup Winery.

Today contemporary shopping arcades sit alongside traditional retail. Alston is one of the highest market towns in England and offers many truly local shops up and down its cobbled streets.
