Acorn Bank

We've put together the best highlights to see in the garden this summer - make sure to look out for them when you visit.

The new season brings lots of opportunities to boost your wellbeing while enjoying the places you love. Stretch your legs with a woodland walk amongst the falling leaves or witness the changing colours of the orchard and gardens.

After centuries of use the watermill at Acorn Bank fell into ruin. A dedicated group of volunteers have worked hard to bring the mill back to life and it now produces its own flour. Take a look at their remarkable achievement.

Stop off at Acorn Bank and stretch your legs in its ancient woodland, spotting a whole host of wildlife along the way.

Are you looking for an adventure? Why not test your navigation skills and find the hidden geocaches around Acorn Bank's parkland?

Slow down and take a meditative moment in our designated 'Silent Space'.

Make sure to pop into our second-hand bookshop on your next visit - it's kept fully stocked thanks to our hard-working volunteers and your generous donations.

Enjoy some green therapy when you stay amongst the sweeping parklands and glorious gardens of Acorn Bank. Its Grade I listed mansion houses one bedroom apartment, Bank Wood, where guests can relish in the tranquillity of the estate when it closes to visitors.

On the second floor of the Grade II listed Acorn Bank mansion, this one-bedroom apartment is a great place to relax after you've been out exploring the hills. Known for its herb collection and traditional fruit orchards, Acorn Bank is a tranquil haven in the Lake District. While you’re here, go for a wander along the Crowdundle Beck to the partially restored watermill. On the way, look out for wildflowers along the path and birds darting between the trees. Sleeps 3.
