Lingla House, Frizington

Frizington is a small rural village in Cumbria on the western edge of the Lake District National Park. The village is known for its lovely 18th century church and it’s tasty fish and chip shop. Frizington was historically a collection of farms and houses, but due to mining opportunities in the area, it is now a unified village with three churches, a pub, a pizza shop, a post office doubling as a general store, a primary school and a library. Towards the coast, you can enjoy the marina at Whitehaven which is bustling with shops, bars, eateries, museums and has a train station and golf club, or you can explore Saint Bees Head Heritage Coast which is a clifftop nature reserve and a great spot for birdwatching and walking trails. Alternatively, head into the Lake District where you can challenge yourself to climb Scafell Pike (England’s highest peak) or spend a day in one of the lovely countryside villages, such as Nether Wasdale or Ennerdale Bridge which both offer rivers walks, pubs serving food and scenic views. Also in the area, you can take a walk around the ruins of Egremont Castle, enjoy a National Trust tour of Wordsworth House, or take a thrill seeking adventure at Go Ape Whinlatter. Frizington is a great base for enjoying the sweeping Cumbrian coastline and the breathtaking Lake District.
