As Wordsworth described this area of the Lakes himself it is "The loveliest spot that man hath ever known.", Tirril is nestled on the edge of the Lake District, two and a half miles from Ullswater, one of Lakeland’s most majestic lakes.
The Queen’s Head is only 2 miles from the M6 and A66 ideal for exploring further afield to the Eden Valley, North Yorkshire moors – of the Brontes and Heriot country fame or even Hadrian’s wall and the Scottish Borders.
Closer to home we have as an area of prehistoric interest, the barrows of Long Meg and Arthur’s round Table as well as Mayburgh Henge and Castle Rigg stone circle or the Cockpit above Ullswater. The Romans built their famous road of High Street through the village from London to their important town of Carlisle.Penrith castle, Brougham castle, Appleby and Brough castles all tell their tales of the regions warring past.
