The beautiful Lake District village with colourful cottages worth the drive from Manchester
Nestled in the shadow of the northern fells in the Lake District is a tiny village which feels a world away from the tourist hotspots in the southern lakes. Caldbeck features rows of pastel-coloured cottages painted in sugary pinks, blues and greens, overlooking lawns of velvety grass.
Being so far north you’d be forgiven if you thought Caldbeck would be a little dreary, yet the village’s colourful cottages and picturesque gardens ensure it is anything but. Various brooks and streams flow through it and there’s a long village green with a duck pond, where you can sometimes spot sheep, ponies and cattle grazing in the centre.Historically Caldbeck had a thriving mining industry, which dated back to as early as the 13th century, but came to prominence in the 17th century.
You can see the well-preserved remains of an old bobbin mill just a short walk from the centre of the village, which also leads you to a picturesque waterfall in a limestone gorge, called the Howk. The mill reputedly had the largest waterwheel in the country, measuring three feet wide and 42 feet diameter.
In the heart of the village is The Oddfellows Arms, a traditional inn serving hearty meals using locally sourced food. It’s a dog-friendly pub and has 12 renovated guest rooms.
