(B&B) Punch Bowl

Whether guests are looking for relaxation or adventure, this charming inn is an ideal base for local holiday outings or for sightseeing trips in the region. Travelers will also be able to find all the peace and quiet they need to escape from the mundane pressures of life. Askham is one of the most attractive villages in the former county of Westmorland, about 4 miles south of Penrith. It contains many whitewashed cottages either side of the two village greens and adjoins the River Lowther making it the perfect spot for Fly Fishing - 100 yards from the River Lowther, the 'jewel in the crown' of the Eden system. Travelers will also have access to boats on Ullswater for those anglers with an interest in 'loch style' fishing. ?
