Roadside barn at Park Head This barn is built in to the west and south bounding walls of a large field on the north side of the Arkengarthdale road. The roadside, the land south of the road, and that west of the barn are all boggy open fell with much soft rush, but the enclosed land seen in the photograph provides higher quality grazing.

Barn above Low Faggergill Rather larger than many of the traditional field barns, this one is also in the middle of a field, rather than built into a boundary wall.

Spa was very nice, rooms comfortable staff very helpful. Food was ok, expensive for the quality, same menu for every food facility was a bit disappointing. Almost felt like Wetherspoon’s quality for restaurant prices.
