Freedom Break at Sedbergh

View larger map

Freedom Breaks offer a flexible way to enjoy some of Britain's most scenic areas.

The small town of Sedbergh (the new book capital of England), now part of Cumbria, was once part of North Yorkshire and lies in the north-west corner of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Sedbergh is ideally located to enjoy the mellow valleys of the Dales and the untamed Cumbrian and North Pennine fells.

Highlights of your stay could include:

• Walks in the Yorkshire Dales - perhaps a gentle stroll along Dentdale or a more challenging walk on the unspoilt Howgill Fells
• Kendal’s Brewery Arts Centre offering the latest film releases, theatre, music, comedy, dance and literature events plus free art exhibitions
• The Lake District, Britain’s most scenic National Park is also within easy reach
• A journey on the Settle & Carlisle Railway: 72 miles with 20 major viaducts, 14 tunnels and spectacular views throughout
• White Scar, a spectacular natural cave with underground streams and waterfalls, thousands of stalactites, and the massive 200,000-year-old Battlefield Cavern
