Newtown, Lowther

These estate houses were built next to the Home Farm to replace the old village that was demolished in 1685. However the 17C houses had hipped roofs, so the terraces in this picture are probably later (19C?).

Lowther Castle, Cumbria

The most significant feature in this grid square has been the family seat of the Earls of Lonsdale from time immemorial. After the death of the fifth Earl the Castle was abandoned, the interior was dismantled and only the walls left standing as a memorial to past glories. Link

Old Church, Clifton, Penrith

I think this could be a private house? There are no signs outside and I saw a man take his dog into the building.

Small Quarry in Farmland

The area is dotted with these small excavations - usually for stone or clay.

Mini Reservoir

Not on the scale of Kielder Water, this one measures about 10m across and still holds water, even though long disused.

The Ullswater Fells are in the far distance.

Private Drive in Lowther Park

Only estate workers allowed here, so very quiet and tranquil.

The Hag

This odd-shaped plantation shows clearly on map and ground. Deciduous trees on left, coniferous on right with the odd one ....

Standing Stones

Located in Lowther Estates, and about 200m from the M6, the backdrop of the Pennines is breathtaking. Great Dun Fell with its "Golfball" on the summit lies between the two stones.

Ice Cream Farm

Abbott Lodge Farm has not so much diversified as specialized; its milk is used to make icecream, sold at source. A car park, shop and children's playground help bring in customers. The sign presumably refers to drivers and not overindulged children.
