About Caldbeck

Caldbeck is a northern fell village on the edge of the National Park, famous as the resting place of huntsman John Peel and for the Howk — a limestone gorge and ruined bobbin mill. It feels more Cumbrian farming country than tourist Lakes, which is its charm.

The Caldbeck Fells (High Pike and neighbours) are grassy, lonely and superb for a wind-in-your-face day away from the crowds.
