At the heart of this serene landscape lies the Underley Estate, a hidden gem offering the perfect escape for those seeking both relaxation and adventure. The Underley estate dates back centuries. The first mention of the word “Underley” is in 1260, when it is believed that the Abbot of York granted Ughtred de Underlay, son of the Earl of Northumberland, “fifteen acres and one rood” of land in the town of Kirkby Lonsdale. But in more modern times, this idyllic setting provides a peaceful retreat and a gateway to some of England's most magnificent natural wonders. Just a short, scenic drive, you'll find the charming market town of Kirkby Lonsdale. Cobbled streets and inviting shops lead to the breathtaking "Ruskin's View", although Ruskins View is currently closed to the public for land stabilisation, it is due to reopen "soon". The town is a delightful place to while away an afternoon, browsing local crafts and enjoying a delicious meal in one of many fantastic pubs, restaurants or cafes. But the allure of Underley extends beyond its immediate surroundings. You’re perfectly positioned to explore two iconic national parks: the Lake District, with its dramatic fells and shimmering lakes, and the Yorkshire Dales, a land of rugged beauty and timeless villages. Whether you're drawn to the challenging hikes of the fells, the quiet charm of the Dales' stone-built villages, or the gentle walks along the Lune Valley itself, Underley Estate offers the ideal base for your adventures. Book a stay at the Underley Estate and immerse yourself in the beauty of the English countryside, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
