Mirehouse and Gardens, Allerdale added to Historic Buildings in North West by D0c.Col on 27/02/2025

Mirehouse Manor and Estate is located in the Lake District, Cumbria, England. It is known for its literary connections, beautiful gardens, and its scenic setting, caressing the water's edge of the beautiful Bassenthwaite Lake.
The footpath starts at the manor and there is also a useful footpath link to the south, which avoids the risks of walking along the A591 and connects with the paths from Underskiddaw, Keswick and Braithwaite.
The Old Sawmill tearoom marks the start and end of many a fell walk as well as those visiting the Lake through the Mirehouse Grounds. From here you can reach the top of Dodd, Ullock Pike and Skiddaw.
The history of the building, that stands in the car-park opposite the entrance to Mirehouse, is outlined on the walls of the tearoom along with a display of old photographs and forest tools.
While the house is only open on occasional days, visitors are able to see its period furnishings, family portraits, and literary memorabilia during selected periods throughout the year. Although there is a pay carpark opposite the house there is a layby just down the road that is free and providing your early or late enough in the day is not crammed with fell walkers cars!

The house is privately owned but public paths are available from the lane leading up to the house, which is open to the public at sheduled events throughout the year.
