Visitor guide
Askham is a handsome red-sandstone village on the Lowther estate, between Penrith and Haweswater. Wide greens, a pub, and Askham Hall give it an Eden Valley feel, but the National Park boundary is minutes away.
It is a civilised base for Lowther Castle, the fells above Haweswater, and a pint that isn’t in a tourist crush.
Estate walks and the ruined castle, easy underfoot.
Open moor rising to the Roman road along High Street.
