Not only are the Caldbeck Fells a wonderful area to visit, it's also surprisingly easy to get to a whole host of other attractions of the Lake District and beyond.

The more popular parts of the Lake District, such as Ullswater and Keswick, are only 20 minutes drive away. The Central & Southern Lakeland area including Windermere, Ambleside and Grasmere are also easily accessible from the area.

The Caldbeck area is also ideally situated for touring  the Scottish Border Country where the Roman Emperor Hadrian built his famous wall to keep out the marauding Picts and Scots. Much of Hadrian's Wall and the forts can be still seen today.  Also border castles and peel towers can be seen in this area.

The city of Carlisle with its Market and shops is only 13 miles away, together with its historic Castle, Cathedral and Tullie House Museum, as well as the famous Race Course.

The market town of Cockermouth - which became famous in November 2009 for the unbelievable floods - has now been revamped and completely recovered. It is only a 20 minutes drive from most locations. It has a fantastic array of shops, restaurants, cafes and other attractions such as Jennings Brewery and Wordworth House - the childhood home of the poet William Wordsworth and now in the hands of the National Trust.

Rheged, situated near Penrith - Named after Cumbria's Celtic Kingdom, Rheged is Europe's largest grass covered building and a winner of the global "BA Tourism for Tomorrow Awards" - situated only 20 minutes away.

The beautiful Eden Valley & North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) are also within easy reach of Caldbeck.

The Solway Coast AONB is accessible via Wigton if you fancy some coastal landscapes and walking. The coast has an abundance of amazing natural landscapes and is renowned for its spectacular sunsets.

The villages of Caldbeck, Uldale and Ireby themselves have some fantastic imaginative local businesses worth having a look at when in the area.
