Description

Oakdale is a beautiful detached house, situated in a delightful garden setting. The house and gardens are lovely and provide the perfect base to enjoy a relaxing holiday, or as a touring base to explore the stunning Cumbrian countryside, or indeed Scotland and Northumberland, you couldn’t be in a better location.
From the moment you walk through the door, Oakdale offers space and comfort. The bright sun room opens onto the living room where there is a beautiful inglenook fireplace with wood burner, ideal for those cooler evenings, and with a second living room, this large family home has plenty of space for everyone. A particularly favourite room at Oakdale is the large conservatory, which overlooks the garden and is ideal for enjoying breakfast, lunch or dinner whilst watching the wildlife. There are some lovely nature reserves close by and cycle paths are available locally, taking you into the heart of the countryside where you can enjoy the scenery.
Sitting on the fringes of Carlisle itself, Oakdale is the perfect location. Close to the Lake District National Park, the Solway Coast and the world famous Hadrian’s Wall, this really is a great location for outdoor enthusiasts. Carlisle itself is a lovely city where you will find a variety of social, leisure and retail opportunities as well as an impressive cathedral and castle. A trip through the National Park is a day not to be missed, taking in the beauty of the fells and lakes for which the Lake District National Park is so famous. A boat trip on Ullswater should definitely be on your list! Shop 1 mile, pub and restaurant 2 miles.

Eden Valley, Carlisle, Hadrians Wall in Cumbria holiday guide

About the local area

Carlisle's modern city centre has a rich heritage; a wonderful combination of culture, history and the great outdoors. It is surrounded by acres of parkland and has some of our finest countryside right on the doorstep.

This great border city has had a turbulent past, leaving a legacy for today's visitors to experience. Carlisle Castle was founded in 1092 by William the Conqueror's son and became one time prison to Mary Queen of Scots. Later it was captured by Bonnie Prince Charlie during the ill fated Jacobite rebellion of 1745. Other places to visit include Carlisle Cathedral and the award winning Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery.

Nearly 2000 years ago Emporer Hadrian built Hadrian's Wall, stretching coast to coast, marking the northern boundary of Roman Britain. Today it is a World Heritage Site with a National Trail Path that allows walkers to travel along its entire 80 mile length; a great way to discover more about the region.

So if you're looking for secluded country walks, city art galleries, forts and museums, Stately Homes and castles, you'll find it all here!
