Bampton village is on the east side of the Lake District near Shap and Penrith in Cumbria. Despite being Easily Accessible from the M6 only a 15 minute drive from Junction 39 and a 20 minute taxi journey from Penrith Railway Station; Bampton is one of the quietest and most un spoilt of villages in the Lake District and is just three miles from Haweswater, a spectacular and beautiful lake which offers an ideal location for summer picnics, or first-class walking and orienteering at any time of the year. Haweswater is also one of the rare places where you can catch a glimpse of England’s ‘Only Golden Eagle’, the friendly RSPB Rangers will help you identify it if required.
