In the isolated dales of the Eden district, Cumbria, rests the linear village of Shap. Although a small village, it is home to a long line of 18th century properties, pubs, shops, a Post Office, swimming pool and lovely memorial park. Shap Abbey lies half a mile away, surrounded by beautiful scenery along the River Lowther. Shap is an excellent location to explore the stunning landscapes of the Lake District National Park, as well as the Yorkshire Dales.
