Sandbed Cottage is situated in a perfect position for exploring both Lakes and Dales. It is only 7 miles from the book town of Sedbergh and 3 miles from Ravenstonedale, a lovely little village with a pub serving restaurant and bar meals. There is a playground in Ravenstonedale and some Gilbertine ruins in the grounds of St. Oswald's church, famous for it's triple decked pulpit and inward facing pews. The area also offers river fishing on the Eden, Belah and Lune. The Settle-Carlisle railway is nearby and vintage buses tour this spectacular area.
