Last week we went to Swinside Stone Circle or Sunkenkirk. It's one of the best preserved Neolithic monuments in the UK and older than Stonehenge. Nestled on the eastern flank of Black Combe it has been part of this landscape for 5 or 6,000 years.

It's a couple of miles drive from Meadow Barn then a mile walk from the car. Parking is limited but not many people go to this part of the Lakes so you should be ok.

You can walk there without getting in the car. Walk across Duddon Bridge, take the Corney Fell road and turn left into Broughton Furnace then up the old pack horse route onto the fells.

Isn't it magnificent?

There's a unique attraction for horse lovers close to Meadow Barn. It's Cumbrian Heavy Horses. Have you ever dreamed about galloping along a beach with the wind in your face? That's what Cumbrian Heavy Horses offer. Riding on a beach in the Lake District. What could be better?

We had another beautiful walk from Meadow Barn. The lakes were looking their majestic best with the fells topped with snow.

The walk was in 2 halves. First was a short walk from Satterthwaite through Grizedale Forest.

We finished the walk more quickly than I expected and it was too beautiful a day to waste it so we drove to Ambleside and up The Struggle (very apt name, it's long, narrow and steep) to the top of Kirkstone Pass, up into the snow.

Getting out of the car was the like entering a different world. All the colour had bleached out of the landscape leaving it black and white with a lazy wind, the kind that goes straight through you instead of around. There was no doubt it was still winter.

The puppies were very excited about the snow and had a great time doing the zoomies and chasing each other. They love the Lake District as much as we do.

We're back at meadow barn, putting the final touches in to get it ready for guests.
We managed to fit in a couple of walks, Haverigg beach yesterday and a walk around Fox Haw and Raven's Crag today. It was stunning! The southern lakes are much less busy than the honeypots of Windermere and Keswick. They're my favourite.

Here are the views from Meadow Barn. The sun rises over the fells you can see from the conservatory. This is looking towards the coast. The Lake District and Duddon Bridge are behind you.

Meadow barn is dog friendly and we supply fleeces to cover the furniture and beds as we know most dogs are used to sleeping in comfort. Here are our two dogs, Pickle and Bobbin, testing out the sofa. I think they approve.
