The Location

Street Farm is situated near Ravenstonedale, described by the author A Wainwright as one of Westmorland's loveliest villages, which has an excellent pub, village shop, parish church and a river. There is a lovely gentle stroll to the village across the feilds which is a popular choice for all ages. The opportunity to walk, cycle and horse ride in a spectacular landscape in almost complete seclusion is one of the many attractions of the area. Nearby are the ancient market towns of Sedbergh ( 6 miles ) and Kirkby Stephen ( 6 miles ), both thriving communities with a good selection of local food and gift shops. Sedbergh is a Book Town and there you will find many interesting book shops and an annual programme of drama festivals. The area has a very good selection of activities and places of interest, many of which are listed below.
