Pennine Potting Shed/Sleeps 3/Glamping Gold
Both take 1 dog/Cumbria
Took a walk across the moors behind the Howgills to find an absolute stunning gem of a waterfall. Totally amazing and well worth the long trek in. Not a soul in sight, unlike the Lakes. On another, slightly warmer day, would have been swimming. Next time maybe…

Carlisle Cathedral and cafe. Definitely worth visiting, stunning ceiling and if you are lucky, as we were today,they had afternoon recital organ music playing.
Cafe open daily, lovely tasty food. Peaceful setting with outdoor seating.
Afternoon teas can be booked here in advance.
45 minute drive from Dufton.
Interesting city with a castle to visit as well.
Lots of independent coffee shops and back street cobbled streets.
