    “We have just returned from a wonderful break at The Fold in Troutbeck.”

    The property is beautifully decorated, immaculately clean and well equipped for a self-catering holiday for two. The cottage is set in beautiful grounds too. On arrival, there is plenty of information about things to do locally via a QR code. There is a farm shop around 5 minutes away in the car which has an excellent cafe and stocks some great local produce. Bigger supermarkets are not too far away either in Penrith and Keswick. Ullswater and Aria falls are both worth a visit and are close ...

Ullswater and Aria falls are both worth a visit and are close by. Annie and Christian (the owners) are so very friendly and on hand should you need anything from them. We will definitely be back!

About the location

TROUTBECK

Keswick 9 miles; Penrith 9 Miles; Ullswater 3 miles.

Troutbeck, near Penrith in Cumbria, boasts a long history deeply connected to its Lake District setting. The village's origins trace back to Norse times, evident in its name, which derives from Old Norse—"Trout" for the fish and "Beck" for stream, reflecting the area's abundant trout-filled waterways.

Historically, Troutbeck was a rural farming village, with its economy heavily dependent on sheep farming and agriculture. Its rugged landscape and proximity to key mountain passes made it a vital stop for traders and travellers throughout the centuries.

The village’s location in the Lake District turned it into a favoured destination for walkers and tourists, exploring the surrounding fells and lakes. Over time, Troutbeck evolved from an agricultural centre to a tourist haven, renowned for its scenic beauty. Historic inns, like the Troutbeck Inn, have long been central to the village’s tradition of hospitality, offering rest to travellers visiting local peaks such as Blencathra and Helvellyn. Despite its growth, Troutbeck retains its peaceful, picturesque charm, blending its agricultural heritage with its role as a serene retreat in the Lakes.
