Location
The castle has an unparalleled position at the geographic centre of the British Isles in the upper reaches of the Eden Valley at the foot of the North Pennines.

The North Pennines is an 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty', bounded by three of England's largest national parks. You can relax, take your time to explore the countryside, visit many unique historic sites, call at arts and crafts workshops, stroll around small towns on market days, or see sheepdog trials and traditional agricultural shows.

Fine pubs or cafés are always close at hand reflecting the local flavour; they serve excellent food and many have full restaurant facilities.

The Pennine Way and Coast to Coast footpaths pass close by and Augill is surrounded by some of the best, most unspoilt scenery and walking in Britain.

The historic cities of Carlisle, Lancaster, Durham, York and Chester are an easy day trip as are many of Britain's finest country houses. Manchester, Leeds and Newcastle, all within two hours' drive, offer first class shopping, theatres, galleries and museums. Ten minutes' drive to the south are the Yorkshire Dales and half an hour west is the Lake District. North of Augill is Hadrian's Wall and the Northumberland National Park.
