Augill Beck Park: Where Excellence Thrives!
We are elated to announce that we’ve been honored with the ‘Customer Choice Award’ and the prestigious ‘Guestlink Visitor Choice – Gold Award.’ These accolades are a testament to the remarkable feedback provided by our cherished guests.
Exploring the Vicinity
Augill Beck Park serves as an ideal launching point for uncovering the natural beauty of the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales. Situated just under an hour away from the southern lakes, you can visit the charming Lakeland towns of Windermere, Ambleside, and Grasmere while immersing yourself in the mesmerizing scenery.
Alternatively, journey to the northern lakes by driving to Ullswater. There, you can relish a delightful boat trip and savor a scrumptious meal at Pooley Bridge, located at the northern tip of Ullswater. Keswick lies further west but is still just an hour’s drive away, making it the most sought-after market town in the northern lakes. The journey there offers captivating vistas every step of the way.
The Charms of the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales & Beyond
The Yorkshire Dales are within arm’s reach, offering a splendid opportunity to explore this breathtaking region. Why not visit the popular towns of Sedbergh and Hawes while enjoying the panoramic views of this area? A short drive over the Pennines brings you to the vibrant market town of Middleton in Teesdale, where you can visit the nearby High Force waterfalls. The view is dramatic and truly spectacular, especially after a bout of rain.
Less than a mile from Augill, you’ll find the charming village of Brough, home to a small convenience store, a fish and chip shop, and a pub serving excellent food and ales.
For countless years, Brough served as the principal town in the area, as it lay on a vital cross-Pennine trading route through the Stainmore Pass. The town grew in two parts: Church Brough and Market Brough. Church Brough is dominated by a Norman castle, built on the site of an earlier fort that once guarded the Roman road to York.
Market Brough eventually became a significant stopover for stagecoach journeys over the Pennines. A thriving farmers’ market is held here every month, the annual Brough Show highlights the finest agricultural products, and Brough Hill Fair is an annual event for trading horses and other livestock.
Vibrant Markets & the Charms of Carlisle
Kirkby Stephen, an ancient market town located at the head of the Eden Valley, is only 4 miles away and exudes an air of historical intrigue. A splendid church and a bustling market square stand at its core. Narrow, winding passageways beckon exploration, and underground passages once offered refuge during Scottish raids (and were used for smuggling beer into the ale-houses to evade taxes!).
The neighboring town and royal borough of Appleby, nestled in the heart of the Eden Valley, serves as the central point for numerous outlying villages and hamlets. Its traditional shops and indoor market cater to every need, while the riverside is perfect for leisurely strolls and picnics. For the more active individuals, an indoor swimming pool, gym, and fully equipped sports center await. For travelers using the railway, both Appleby and Kirkby Stephen are stops along the scenic Settle to Carlisle railway, providing easy access to Carlisle, a vibrant and cosmopolitan city.
Historical Charms Abound
Just across the border in Durham, you’ll discover Barnard Castle, a thriving market town with a rich history. It developed in the protective shadow of Bernard Balliol’s castle. Erected on a formidable defensive site in 1125, the castle is under the care of English Heritage and is open to the public.
Other local towns that are worth a visit include Kendal and Richmond. Augill Beck Park is genuinely situated in an ideal location for exploring the myriad attractions of the area.
