Culgaith and the Local Area

Otters Holt is situated on the Western edge of the village of Culgaith, some six miles East of Penrith and the M6 and just onemile North of Temple Sowerby and the A66. A community of around 400 people enjoy the tranquil location between Cross Felland the rugged Pennines to the East and the River Eden which it overlooks to the West.

The village itself dates back to around the 13th Century with nearby Millrigg House, a 15th Century stone Pele Tower built asprotection against Scottish raiders, a reminder of the area’s turbulent past. The first mention of the village’s inn, the Black Swan,dates back to the 17th Century whilst All Saints Church was built later in 1758. The Midland Railway (Settle-Carlisle) was builtthrough Culgaith between 1870-73 and this included a tunnel of 661 yards. The station was later opened in 1880.

In addition to the Church, the village boasts a primary school, praised in a 2005 Ofsted inspection, a recreation ground whichincludes an open air swimming pool, the Hazel Dene garden centre, a thriving Village Hall and the famous Black Swan Inn. Itis conveniently located within easy reach of some of the most beautiful countryside in the North West of England. The LakeDistrict, Pennines and Yorkshire Dales offer excellent opportunities for walking, hiking and mountain biking, whilst the adjacentRiver Eden provides one of the best trout and salmon rivers in England.
