Burns Farm lies in the beautiful Valley St-Johns-in-the-Vale. A idyllic part of the Lake District. You just need walk off the site in any direction and it won't be long before a hill comes under foot. From some of the highest ground in England, to the loveliest walk on a disused railway line by the River Greta, this is one of the greatest places on the planet to take your boots.

Stunning scenery from the edges of the site wherever you cast your amazed gaze, situated on a traditional north Cumbria working hill farm, set in the heart of the mountains, it is a great base for walking or climbing the surrounding peaks of Blencathra, Skiddaw, Latrigg, Scafell Pike, Scafell, Catbells, Helvellyn, and Helvellyn range including Clough Head, to name a few.

"Tewet Tarn" is our own little lake, with it's picturesque views of the Vale. Ideal for a lovely evening strole and just a nice walk for the kids or you faithful four legged friend. From there it's a short walk up Low Rigg to the St John's-in-the-Vale church from which this valley gets it's name. High Rigg is just behind the church.
