Admire Holker Hall & Gardens:
Holker Hall is an outstanding country house that is 3 miles from Lothlorien.
It has been the family home of the Cavendish Family, dating back to the 16th century.
The site itself was once belonged to Cartmel Priory
In 1871 a devastating fire destroyed the west wing, subsequently rebuilt in sandstone.
Today, this wing is open to visitors to wander around at will.
Furthermore, there is a magnificent library, fine panelling and a cantilevered staircase.
The hall retains the atmosphere of a family home, not least because you are free to explore the rooms unhindered by ropes or barriers.
The adjacent courtyard contains a café, gift shop and food hall selling local Cumbrian produce.
Holker Hall is also known for its stunning gardens which are an oasis of colour and calm.
The gardens contain what is said to be the oldest monkey puzzle tree in the country.
