Bampton Village Shop Café & Accommodation

About

Bampton is located in the Eastern Fells, also known to many as the quieter side of the Lakes away from the madness of Windermere and the southern lakes and the crowds of people but close enough to visit for a day trip. We are located close to Penrith and the A6/M6. Our village is beautiful, with links to Haweswater and Helton fell, Askham and Lowther castle, a must see for our visitors. One of the most wonderful sights is the ruin of Shap Abbey which stands desolate in the most bucolic setting. Lowther castle is again a must see, suitable for all the family for walks and adventures with the added benefit of cycle hire and many other potential adventures such as Horse trecking days. The valley has something to offer everyone, book now to avoid disappointment.Bampton Village Shop, Café and Post Office is set in the beautiful eden valley, a stones-throw from Haweswater Reservoir and on the doorstep for lots of wonderful walks and views. The village is quiet and a relaxing place to be, somewhere that you can leave the manic world behind, breathe and relax.
