THE LOCAL AREA The hamlet of Lupton is located in Cumbria just off junction 36 of the M6; just a 5 minute drive from the well known market town of Kirkby Lonsdale with its quaint streets, boutique shops, artisanal bakers and a selection of bars and restaurants. Lupton lies within easy striking distance of both The Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Park’s, Morcambe Bay and The Forest of Bowland. Towns and villages such as Kendal, Windermere, Hawes, Malham and Lancaster all lying less than 45 minutes away. The Hamlet of Lupton lies on the Kendal to Kirkby Lonsdale bus route (no.567) however given the rural location having your own transport is a distinct advantage. The closest mainline train station is Oxenholme, which is 8 miles away. CRABTREE FARM Crabtree Farm is a picturesque sheep and beef farm that harmoniously balances agricultural productivity with environmental stewardship. Nestled in the stunning Cumbrian countryside, the farm is dedicated to farming practices that are sympathetic to nature. This commitment is evident in the extensive tree planting and hedge replacement initiatives that enhance biodiversity and create a thriving habitat for local wildlife. The farm is home to a range of breeding birds, including Barn Owls, Pied and Spotted Flycatchers, Green Woodpeckers and Curlew, adding to the rich tapestry of its natural environment. The rolling pastures and lush woodlands provide a serene backdrop, reflecting a concerted effort to maintain and enrich the landscape. Crabtree Farm embodies a perfect blend of traditional farming and sustainable practices, ensuring a flourishing environment for future generations. CLAY PIGEON SHOOT To help secure the future of the family farm we have had to diversify. One of these diversifications is Clay Pigeon Shooting. This operates on Wednesdays and Saturdays between 10am and 4pm. Guests are more than welcome to book a taster session. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the cabin: WiFi ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Hob - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Service animals only (pets not allowed) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - In a rural location ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Property does not allow children - Unit size: 192 square feet ## Similar properties ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/88000000/87480000/87477300/87477238/d6f0933b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Semi-detached deluxe lodge offering the perfect romantic retreat for couples.
