❄️ Should there be snow? We’ve got you covered! 🛷

The days are getting shorter, there’s a definite nip in the air, and winter is edging ever closer to the Howgills.

And while we can’t promise a blanket of snow, we can promise that if the white stuff does arrive, we’re ready for it!

Tucked away at Herdwick Barn are a couple of sledges, just waiting for their moment of glory. Because sometimes the best winter memories involve rosy cheeks, cold noses, a little bit of laughter and the occasional undignified landing! 😂

And when you’ve had your fill of the great outdoors, there’s a wonderfully warm barn waiting for you, complete with a cosy wood burner and plenty of fuel for the fire.

After all, winter in the Yorkshire Dales isn’t just about keeping warm. It’s about getting out there and enjoying it!

Herdwick Barn, Sedbergh. Ready for whatever winter brings. ❤️

🍂 Some views deserve the whole picture!

We shared a little glimpse of this beautiful country walk in our recent reel, but we thought these magnificent old trees deserved a photograph all to themselves.

Just look at those branches! Twisting and reaching across the sky, standing proudly above the moss-covered dry stone wall, with the golden light peeping through.

And if you look carefully at the bottom left of the photograph, you'll spot what we think is Johnny, looking positively tiny beneath those magnificent old trees! It really gives you a sense of their extraordinary size and grandeur.

It's these little moments that make a countryside walk so special. The sort of scene that makes you stop, look up and simply take it all in.

With scenery like this to enjoy around Sedbergh and the Howgills, there's always another lovely walk waiting to be discovered.

Herdwick Barn. Come for the peace and quiet, stay for the beauty of it all. ❤️

🎃 HALLOWEEN IN THE HOWGILLS? THERE'S STILL TIME! 🍂

Fancy swapping trick-or-treaters and the doorbell ringing all evening for crackling logs, dark starry skies and a little peace and quiet?

Herdwick Barn in Sedbergh still has availability over Halloween, and we can't think of a lovelier place to escape to as October draws to a close.

Think crisp autumn walks, spectacular views of the Howgill Fells, cosy evenings beside the wood burner and perhaps a glass of something rather nice while the wind whistles outside.

And if you fancy venturing out, the delightful market town of Sedbergh, England's Book Town, is just a mile away, with its independent shops, cosy cafés and welcoming traditional pubs.

Bring your walking boots, your favourite person and the dogs too. There's half an acre of secure grounds for four-legged guests to enjoy.

Sleeping up to four guests in two beautiful ensuite bedrooms, Herdwick Barn is the perfect little hideaway for a last-minute autumn break.

👻 The only thing frightening about this Halloween escape is how quickly you'll wish you'd booked for longer!

A little light snorkelling, anyone? 🐾💦

Who says you have to wait for summer to enjoy a paddle?

When there’s a river to explore, a few chilly temperatures aren’t going to put these two off! Noses down, tails up and absolutely no concern for the water temperature.

There’s something wonderfully entertaining about watching dogs enjoy the great outdoors. Every puddle is an adventure, every river an invitation, and there’s simply no such thing as bad weather when you’re having this much fun.

And afterwards? Back to the warmth and comfort of Herdwick Barn, where the treats are plentiful, the towels are ready and a cosy evening awaits.

Life’s little pleasures, four paws at a time. ❤️

Small mountain, BIG views. And one very windswept dog! 🐾💨

Harley is rocking the windswept look at Castle Crag in Borrowdale, and what a spectacular spot to stop and admire the scenery!

At just 290 metres (950 feet), Castle Crag has a rather special claim to fame. It's the smallest of the 214 fells featured in Alfred Wainwright's famous Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells.

But there's absolutely nothing small about those views!

Rugged rocks, wooded valleys and magnificent Lakeland fells stretching into the distance. This is the Lake District at its glorious best.

Johnny captured this wonderful photograph on a walk up Castle Crag, near the pretty villages of Grange-in-Borrowdale and Rosthwaite, around an hour's drive from Herdwick Barn.

Proof that you don't have to climb the highest mountains to enjoy some of the finest scenery in the Lakes.

And Harley? Well, she's clearly mastered the art of looking magnificent with the wind in her fur! 🐶❤️

Proof that you don't have to climb the highest mountains to enjoy some of the finest scenery in the Lakes.

And after all that fresh air and adventure, what could be better than heading home to Herdwick Barn, kicking off those walking boots and settling down in front of a roaring fire?

We suspect Harley will be quite happy to curl up and sleep off her adventures! 🐾❤️

Sometimes you just need to see the whole picture! 📸🐾

We shared this wonderful photograph in a reel recently, but the trouble with reels is that you don't always get to appreciate the full image. And this one really does deserve to be seen in all its glory!

Moody, magnificent and wonderfully exhilarating. This is the Howgills at their dramatic best, with big skies, breathtaking views and walks enjoyed every bit as much by the human folk as the canine variety.

And it's right on our doorstep!

Just turn right out of Herdwick Barn's main gate, right again at the end of the road and keep heading uphill.

Who says you need blue skies and sunshine for a fabulous walk? 🍂

🍂 Autumn. In all its glory. 🍁

There’s something rather wonderful about this time of year. The countryside turns a hundred shades of gold, russet and amber, the air has that lovely autumn nip, and even the simplest walk becomes a little adventure.

Rustling leaves underfoot, woodland creatures going about their business, streams tumbling over mossy stones and the occasional sheep looking as though it owns the place. 🐑

Here in Sedbergh, with the magnificent Howgill Fells on our doorstep and the Yorkshire Dales waiting to be explored, autumn is a season worth slowing down for.

And after a day in the great outdoors? Back to Herdwick Barn, boots off, kettle on and a roaring fire to warm your toes.

Autumn adventures. Cosy evenings. Wonderful memories. 🍁
