About this property

Wigton 2 miles.

A spacious, well-equipped and comfortable cottage situated in a wonderful rural setting at Greenrigg Farm, just 2 miles from the small market town of Wigton. Greenrigg Farm sits within the delightful hinterland between the Solway Coast and the Caldbeck fells, close to the Lake District National Park. The stone-built property adjoins the owners' farmhouse who are country sportspeople.

It has been fully modernised, whilst taking care to retain the original character, including a farmhouse kitchen with AGA. Visitors are free to explore the farm, subject to seasonal restrictions. A great base for walking and touring in the Northern Lakes.

With a charter granted in 1262, the traditional Cumbrian market town of Wigton still holds a market each Tuesday in the covered market hall. This lovely town is a popular centre for shopping, pubs and restaurants, as well as for other activities such as theatre, bowls, swimming, tennis and other sports. The Lord Melvyn Bragg novel, 'A Time to Dance', featured the town of Thurston, which was based on Wigton and the local area. The town is just 18 miles from Penrith and so makes an excellent base from which to explore the cathedral city of Carlisle, the North Lakes and the natural beauty of the West Cumbrian Coast. The epic Roman construction, Hadrian's Wall, is within 25 miles, whilst the Scottish borders and their famous town of Gretna Green are within easy driving distance.
