Feel the heat

What a view of Pooley Bridge from the fell behind High Winder.There is no doubt that when we get a lovely sunny day the sunsets are outstanding - and just a short walk.
New Life
26th July 2022
This little lad is only a few days old when we came across him and his mum out on the fell. Even though he is so young he is able to keep up with the others.There are 2 or 3 herds that roam the fells behind High Winder and many of our guests have been able to see these amazing animals.
Sun Rise at High Winder
10th July 2022
What an amazing view of the sunrise from one of our cottages - Winder Ghyll.This year the farmer has let his field grow into a meadow which has attracted lots of birds that are feeding on the seeds and insects.Many of the fields around us have been earmarked for rewilding projects.
Attracting the wildlife
26th June 2022
Many of the fields around High Winder are reverted to meadows.This has resulted in wild flowers re-establishing themselves and attracting a wide variety of wildlife.
Still the star of the show
13th July 2021
It’s been so good to see all the activity this year with the red squirrels at High Winder. It wasn't that long ago that they seemed to have disappeared but now they are back.There are several families with their kits who are regularly using the feeders and posing for guests.They seem to know when the camera is on them and are still the real stars.
A Winter Scene
13th February 2020
High Winder is situated high on the fells looking out across the Eden Valley. We are just over 1,000ft above sea level and often find ourselves in the snow line.When we do get snow it transforms the countryside around us into a magical landscape.
