Neighborhood info

Sharp Edge occupies a stunning elevated position on a tree lined hill, giving it glorious 360 degree views out over arguably some of the most delightful countryside in the Lake District National Park. Near Howe enjoys a secluded location, but is within very easy reach of the A66, midway between the lovely Cumbrian market towns of Penrith and Keswick. Equally close at hand is Ullswater, topped and tailed by Pooley Bridge at the North and Glenridding to the South while in the opposite direction lies the picturesque village of Mungrisdale and further at 'Back o'Skidda' is Caldbeck, the former home of famous huntsman John Peel. All of this delightful countryside helps bring tourists to the area over an ever-increasing season. The surrounding area can provide many activities and pastimes, including golf, fishing, pony trekking, boating and walking, from the gentlest of rambles to the most strenuous of fell walks. For the not so energetic, Near Howe is the ideal base from which to tour the magnificent Cumbrian countryside and enjoy the scenic beauty of our lovely Lakeland.
