Dalemain House & Gardens
Recommended by
Overview
Originally a mediaeval pele tower, Dalemain was added to in Tudor times, and the imposing Georgian façade was completed in 1745. It has oak panelling, Chinese wallpaper, Tudor plasterwork and fine period furniture. The gardens include a collection of old fashioned roses, wild flower spiral, earth sculpture, a newly developed stumpery in Lob's Wood, and in early summer a magnificent display of blue Himalayan poppies. In early March, Dalemain is home to the International Marmalade Festival. Tearoom, gift shop, museum, plant sales and Dacre walk through the estate to Dacre Church.

About the area
Cumbria's rugged yet beautiful landscape is best known for the Lake District National Park that sits within its boundaries. It’s famous for Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, and Derwent Water, ‘Queen of the English Lakes', but other lesser-known areas in the south, such as the Lune Valley and the coastal towns, are secret gems of wide cobbled streets and rolling hills.
