Five things that make Hackthorpe such an idyllic place to call home

Posted on: August 17, 2021

SITUATED just four miles from the picturesque town of Penrith and on the doorstep of the world famous Lake District, the village of Hackthorpe is a highly desirable place to live.

We take a look at our favourite things which make Hackthorpe such a great location to call home.

 

A tight knit community with excellent amenities

Part of the parish of Lowther, village life is as idyllic as you could wish for in Hackthorpe. Lowther Parish Hall and Play Area includes a zip wire, swing, climbing frame and other play equipment to keep children of all ages entertained, Lowther Endowed School is a great school for primary school aged pupils while the Lowther Castle Inn is the perfect place to enjoy a few drinks and excellent food.

 

Excellent transport links to other parts of the country

While there may not be much desire to leave such a beautiful village, Hackthorpe is an ideal place to live for those who need to commute for work purposes. The village is located just off the A6 and a stone’s throw away from the M6 motorway, meaning travelling up and down the country has never been easier, if required.

 

It is a haven for keen walkers

Being located so close to the Lake District, there is no shortage of excellent, peaceful walking routes. Of particular interest may be the Hackthorpe Circular, a seven-mile moderately difficult route which is guided by experts at Carlisle Ramblers for those wishing to take part in an organised group walk.

 

Close proximity to Lowther Castle and Gardens

If beautiful scenery and breathtaking scenes are your thing, then you’re in the right place as the stunning Lowther Castle and Gardens is a five-minute drive from Hackthorpe. There is plenty to see and do at the historic site with several activities arranged for the entire family on a regular basis, and the attraction is a hit with tourists all year round.

 

Glorious views of the Pennines

Stretching almost 300 miles from the south of Scotland down to the Peak District, the hills and mountains of the Pennines are widely considered one of the most scenic areas of the United Kingdom. And the North West section of the Pennine Hills more or less neighbours Hackthorpe, giving residents enviable views of such fantastic countryside.
