The Howgills are an oft-ignored area, nestled between its larger cousins, the Lakes and the Dales. Great scenery, lovely walking. A nice base town at Sedbergh, with good food and pubs.
Take Junction for Kirby Lonsdale off M6 and then turn right following signs, or via A65
I've done a guide to the walk at www.seanliquorish.co.uk/blog/?p=11
Farfield Mill is a fantastic converted textile mill with 15 artist studios, arts and contemporary crafts for sale, a great tea room and some history of the area. There are two looms weaving rugs too.
The art and craft work for sale is really high quality and beautiful, and you have the opportunity to meet some of the the people who made them.
