Explore the geology of Cumbria?

WOULD YOU LIKE TO EXPLORE THE GEOLOGY OF CUMBRIA?
…….. and stay in a small conservation village called Torpenhow in the Northern Fells of the Lake District…..away from the crowds!
We have B&B and self-catering accommodation in a property called The Homestead, built in 1812. We welcome walkers and cyclists (we have secure cycle storage)…..and if you want to spend some time looking at aspects of local and county-wide geology…… this is an ideal base from which to explore.
PLANNING YOUR EXCURSIONS
Visitors can  make use of our ‘library’ of books, maps, leaflets on Cumbrian and North Pennines geowalks, and past proceedings of the Cumberland Geological Society. There is also a free copying facility at The Homestead so you can be prepared with background information before you venture forth! And if your clothes get wet…we have a drying cupboard!
We even have a collection of rocks and minerals to help you to identify any specimens you may find on your days out. And at nearby Keswick is the excellent Keswick Mining Museum where
Ian Tyler, the museum owner and author of 12 books on mines
and quarries in the county, will be pleased to share his knowledge with you.
