​Meathop is a tranquil village situated near the charming Edwardian town of Grange-over-Sands, offering a peaceful base on the edge of the southern Lake District. ​For nature enthusiasts, Meathop is notable for the Meathop Moss Nature Reserve, a protected lowland raised mire managed by the Cumbria Wildlife Trust, which provides excellent walking trails and opportunities to spot rare plant life and diverse insects, particularly moths and butterflies. ​The main local hub is Grange-over-Sands, where visitors can enjoy a leisurely, mile-long walk along The Promenade (this is only a short walk from the property), offering superb views across the bay. For a more invigorating experience, hike to Hampsfell Hospice to be rewarded with panoramic views of the Lake District fells and the coastline. A major, albeit adventurous, coastal activity is the famous Cross Bay Walk, which must only be undertaken with an official, qualified guide due to the treacherous nature of the sands and tides. ​Beyond Grange, tourists frequently visit the nearby medieval Cartmel Village, which is home to the stunning 12th-century Cartmel Priory and is celebrated worldwide for its renowned sticky toffee pudding. Further attractions include Holker Hall and Gardens, a magnificent historic estate, and the Lakeland Motor Museum, featuring a broad collection of classic vehicles and the iconic Bluebird Exhibition. The area is also well-connected for travel, with the Grange-over-Sands train station and the scenic Lakeside and Haverthwaite Steam Railway, which links to boat cruises on Lake Windermere, making it an ideal starting point for exploring the wider Lake District National Park.
