Holker Hall is 3 miles from Lothlorien and has been the family home of the Cavendish Family, dating back to the 16th century.

In 1871 a devastating fire destroyed the west wing, which was subsequently rebuilt in sandstone.

Today, the whole of this wing is open to visitors to wander around at will.

Furthermore, there is a magnificent library, fine panelling and a cantilevered staircase.

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.
