Tucked just seven miles east of Carlisle and moments from the pretty village of Wetheral, High Rigg Shepherd’s Hut is a charming retreat perfectly placed for discovering the best of Cumbria. With sweeping views of open countryside and based in a peaceful woodland setting, this romantic hideaway is made for couples seeking a tranquil escape with a spot of luxury.
The hut features a king-size bed with a cosy seating area at its foot, ideal for curling up with a book or simply enjoying the view. The compact yet well-equipped kitchen is perfect for cooking up intimate dinners, while the dining table invites you to linger over home-cooked meals, perhaps with a celebratory glass of fizz on arrival? French doors open wide to let the fresh country air in, and a sleek, modern shower room completes the space with style.
The outdoor area is a real highlight. French doors lead onto a decked balcony that offers uninterrupted views across the countryside. Recline in comfort with a chilled drink on warm afternoons, or sink into the private hot tub to soak under the stars, whatever the weather, thanks to a sheltered roof above. Just behind the decking, you’ll find a small grassy area and handy storage for any extras you bring along.
You’re just a short drive from the market town of Brampton, a fantastic base for exploring Hadrian’s Wall and the surrounding history-soaked landscape. The town itself is rich in heritage, with landmarks dating back to Roman times and connections to Border Reivers and Bonnie Prince Charlie. Don’t miss a visit to Moot Hall in the centre of town, or the striking motte topped by a statue of the 7th Earl of Carlisle. A few miles away, Talkin Tarn Country Park offers serene walks around its glacial lake, and Gelt Woods provides an enchanting setting for nature lovers, with its ancient woodland and winding river paths.
Couples looking for a romantic rural escape, history buffs eager to explore Hadrian’s Wall and Brampton’s heritage, or anyone craving peaceful seclusion in a thoughtfully curated space.
