Last year we bought two mountain bikes from Halfords and fitted a Bafang motor to each bike. We loved the freedom these new bikes gave us and we spent some amazing days on the mountain tracks around the Duddon Valley and Grizedale Forest. This got us thinking that perhaps our holiday guests might like the opportunity to ditch their cars and get out onto an E bike and enjoy the fresh air and scenery. So rather than buy a bike and fit a motor we decided to buy a purpose built Mountain bike each with a spare battery to increase the bikes range. See our bike hire page for pricing and details.
Exciting addition to our popular holiday accommodation here at High Hurst. The project was completed in Jul 2020 and was available from August last year. The building was formerly used as the Farm Office and before that it had been a workshop, hence the name. We opened up the garden area in December and look forward to welcoming guests to the Duddon Valley.
We received a call from Lake District Farmers (LDF); not in itself unusual, but this was a little different. Phil, LDF's head of Marketing, had published a great article about the work they do in selling produce from a number of farmers across Cumbria including ourselves. It seems we were the last to know and Cumbria Life liked the article so much that they put me and Robin on the Front cover. The photo shoot had been from a marketing campaign by LDF on the launch of their new website selling high quality produce direct to members of the public rather than just 3* Restaurants in London. We were chuffed to bits, to say the least. It was also great to see our friend Anthony Hartley in the magazine showing off his wonderful Herdwick Sheep. Thanks to the team at LDF and Cumbria Life for the surprise of the Century!
