Middle Row Cottage
Row Head Farm with Middle Row Cottage is the last farm at the top of Wasdale before the road runs out. The farm, owned by the National Trust, is a traditional working farm with a flock of Herdwick sheep. The cottage was once a farm workers cottage and has recently been renovated and modernised to make it a warm and comfortable place to stay for up to six people.
Wasdale itself is a valley of extremes. It boasts England's deepest lake (Wastwater), highest mountain (Scafell), smallest church (St Olaf's) and the world’s biggest liar competition (each November, in the Santon Bridge Inn). Wastwater lake is close to the farm and there are many good swimming spots on its shores.
