Sycamore Tree Farm, Mallerstang, Cumbria

What the Owners Say

Sycamore Tree Farm is an 18th century farmhouse perched high on the Mallerstang fell side with magnificent views over the Eden Valley. The famous Settle-Carlisle railway runs through Mallerstang higher up the fell. The cottage is at the end of a private road that winds through a working farm up towards the fells – an escape from the stresses of everyday life.

It’s a walkers paradise with immediate access to Wild Boar and the fells. The cottage looks onto the grandeur of High Seat and the famous Howgills are only minutes away. Sycamore is an ideal spot for bird watchers and nature lovers. There are pheasants, rabbits and red foxes in the garden and the trees behind, and down by the River Eden, our two resident herons. Fish for trout from the river bank or go horse riding on the bridle ways that cross the fells.Golf courses are within half an hour’s drive – or if you’re feeling adventurous hire a mountain bike or try para-gliding.
