Orange Hill Cottage
The hamlet of Boot nestles in the Eskdale valley, one of the more tranquil valleys of the Lake District. A warm and comfortable house, Orange Hill Cottage is ideal for couples and small families, offering accommodation for up to four people with great views of the Lakeland fells.
Eskdale is a wonderful starting point for hundreds of walks, either on the fells or along the banks of the River Esk, which flows from Scafell at the top of the valley down to the estuary at Ravenglass, an old fishing village complete with a ruined Roman bath-house! The river has natural pools for swimming and is a popular place for canoeing and for fishing. In the Eskdale valley is an 18 hole golf course and private salmon fishing river. The famous Ravenglass & Eskdale Miniature Railway runs along the valley, its steam trains leisurely making the seven mile journey down to the sea.

Directions to Orange Hill Cottage
From the South
* Leave the M6 motorway at junction 36 for Kendal/Lakes.
* Follow signs to Barrow (A590).
* Turn right to Workington (A5092) 3 miles beyond Newby Bridge and follow this road to Broughton-in-Furness (10 miles).
* Turn right to Ulpha before the River Duddon (3/4 mile beyond Broughton).
* After 4 miles turn left in Ulpha village to the steep hill signed Eskdale.
* Follow the fell road to the King George IV pub (6 miles).
* Turn right.
* Continue along this road, past the Vicarage, past the Ratty Terminus and then turn left at Brook House Inn.
* Go to the end of the road and there are four terraced houses opposite the Boot Inn - No. 3 is in the middle.
* Parking is on the road in front of the house - if for any reason there is no available spaces, you should be able to park at the pub but please ask first.
Please note: if you have satellite navigation, the recommended route often appears to be over Wrynose and Hardknott passes which can be very lovely but are incredibly steep (England's steepest road with gradients of up to one in three), windy and narrow. Following this route is shorter in distance but certainly not quicker than the directions shown above.
