The stunning scenery of the Western Lake District, carrying the marks of occupation from ancient times, inspires everyone who comes here. Landscape, heritage and community give the area a charm that few other places can match.
The fells provide excellent walking, the rivers and coast are great for fishing and there’s plenty of scope for beach and watersports at both Millom and neighbouring Haverigg, where speedboats are not subject to restrictions present on the National Park Lakes.
Monuments range from the wonderful and mysterious Swinside stone circle (the sunken kirk), through solid sandstone abbeys to contemporary steel and glass edifices in the redeveloped harbours and marinas of the west coast. Industrial heritage is well represented, particularly mining and shipbuilding; especially important in the history of Duddon Villa.
Millom town was the Klondike of it’s age. The legacy of this time is seen in the grand banks of the market square. Today the banks remain, alongside a good range of small shops.
During your stay the family can offer 1000m of private pier. From here you can launch your boat, ski or windsurfer free of charge, or for a quieter life, cast your rod for a spot of fishing. There’s plenty of space for everyone
We are able to advise on local activities, walking routes and riding stables. We are also pleased to offer painting activity holidays with a well known local artist and tutor.
