Fornside Farm is a typical 17th century Lakeland hill farm, set back from the road with direct, private access to the fells. We farm 54 acres of beautiful countryside with spectacular views. The farm is predominantly for sheep but we also have free range hens, ducks and geese; we are planning to introduce pigs soon.  We have a private farm trail for you enjoy exploring our woods, fields, streams, wildlife and fantastic views.

We have an electric car charging facility (PodPoint). We do not accept bookings of 3 or more cottages without prior agreement.  We do accept dogs in two of our cottages; conditions apply.

Location

Fornside Farm is in St John's in the Vale, a stunning, peaceful and unspoilt valley, 4 miles south-east of Keswick and within easy reach of  the tranquil lakes of Derwentwater and Thirlmere.  You can 'bag' a dozen Wainwrights directly from the farm, or just stay put and enjoy the feeling of being away from it all, nestled in the stunning hills with beautiful views everywhere you look.
