| A real Lakeland hidden treasure set in the beautiful village of Troutbeck, this 17th-century solid stone and slate house sits imposingly on the hillside, its huge chimneys typical of the area. The Brownes lived here for generations, a wealthy, hardworking family, who loved woodcarving, books and furniture, and collected them in this homely place. See fascinating kitchen and domestic tools, along with period clothing and the cosy servants' rooms. A real fire in the down house most days, and a lovely cottage garden make this a 'must see' visit when in the Lake District. | | | | Discover what life was like in 1900 with our living history on the first and third Saturday of each month and Thursdays during local school holidays.
