The North End Galleries
Please enjoy this selection of photographs of the house, the village and the surrounding area. We hope this gives you a flavour of the beautiful area that we live in.
Northend Farmhouse
The House
The front of the house includes many old features of the Westmorland longhouse. The farmhouse would initially have been split into three sections - at one end the family would have live, at the other the livestock, whilst the middle section would have acted as a barn. The modern reconstruction preserves the charm of the building whilst including all the modern comforts.
House Date
The date mark above the old door of the Westmorland longhouse puts its construction in the late seventeenth century.

Guest Bedrooms
Many guests have commented on how spacious the bedrooms are at North End. We also keep the rooms well stocked with treats such as cake and fresh fruit to compliment the tea and coffee making facilities.
The Garden
Northend's Garden'
Northend has a large garden that guests are welcome to use when the weather allows.
Garden View
The large east facing garden backs onto farmland, with a glorious view towards the Pennine fells.
Local Area
Cross Fell
The highest peak in the Pennines at 893m(2929&prime), Cross fell rises above the Eden Valley. On a clear day it can be seen from the rear of Northend Farmhouse and is a worthy expedition for any experienced fell-walker. From the summit, the panorama stretches from the Solway Firth and the Galloway hills of Scotland, the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales, with the lush and unspoilt Eden Valley in the foreground.
Bolton Parish Church
The local village church, just a few minutes walk from Northend Farmhouse, dates from the 12th Century.
Local Livestock
The sheep in this field seem oblivious to the glorious view of the fells overlooking their grazing site!
The River Eden at Appleby
The River Eden flows from through the Eden Valley where Appleby is situated and then on to Bolton. There are many local walks that cross it and meander along its course. It is constantly changing with the seasons. Here it is in spring looking towards Appleby Bridge.
The Local Cricket Ground
The River Eden flows through Appleby and on to Bolton. Here it is seen through the cherry blossom of spring, with our local cricket pitch at Appleby beyond.
The River Eden in summer
On a summer's evening, an idyllic walk by the river, to watch the local wildlife and take in the sunset, is a perfect way to round off the day after dinner.
Local Woodland
As well as lush farmers' fields, high fells and river banks, there are many local woods to explore nearby.
Autumn in the village
As the seasons change to autumn, the village takes on a different hue as the lush greens of summer give way to the bronze and gold of falling leaves.
Dufton Pike
An oft climbed nearby viewpoint, Dufton pike (481m/1578&prime), overlooks the village of the Dufton and the Eden valley and provides an easier way to gain the glorious panorama of the vale than the much higher Cross fell. It forms part of the Pennine panorama seen from the rear of Northend Farmhouse.
