Additional Information
The Lake District town of Sedbergh, Cumbria
Sedbergh is not only set in the western dales of the Yorkshire Dales National Park but is also close to the eastern fells of the Lake District about 5 miles east of junction 37 on the M6 motorway and about 10 miles from Kendal and the West Coast main line railway at Oxenhome Station.
For those who like to explore, the town has a variety of narrow lanes and small clusters of old buildings. There is a 12th century Norman church (restored in 1886) and, overlooking the town, is the site of Castlehaw, an ancient motte and bailey castle.
For the serious walker there are the Howgill Fells. The closest hill, Winder, can be reached by a walk of about 1½ miles and provides extensive panoramic views over the surrounding countryside from its 1550 ft (473 m) summit.
For those who prefer more level ground there is a variety of paths along the banks of the meandering River Rawthey and adjacent fields and woodland.
