Hidden it may be, but well worth seeking out… because Hidden Corner is actually in a rather fine location for a break in the Cumbria countryside. This scenic spot is tucked away in meadows in the Eden Valley, a little way from the village of Long Marton and about 10 minutes’ drive from Appleby-in-Westmorland. It’s the kind of peaceful place where you’ll have cows and horses as neighbours, a pond on site and the outline of the Lake District fells as your backdrop – but you’ll also have a pub about 10 minutes’ walk away. Getting out to see more of the rural surroundings is straightforward from this site on the edge of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – head straight out to cross a six-arch sandstone viaduct over Trout Beck and along a private footpath that takes you along to Dufton Ghyll. Other footpaths head out through the Ghyll and on to the Pennine Way and High Cup Nick. Once you’ve been out and explored thoroughly, you’ll be coming back to a place that favours the simple things in life – the owners have installed compost loos but that’s pretty much it on the facilities front. You’re welcome to bring a barbecue along though, and dogs are allowed on site too (happily, as they’ll no doubt enjoy the prospect of all those walks too…)
