Morland House is a former Tudor vicarage lived in by the Markham family since 1828.
The four acres of magical gardens reflect the changing tastes of successive generations.
Described as ‘a hidden secret in the heart of the tranquil Eden Valley’ (Tim Longville,
Cumbria Life), the first impression is one of extensive lawns, colourful herbaceous borders
and walled rose garden with views to the Pennines but there is a surprise… take the
Garden Trail to discover hidden corners and secret natural wonderlands.
