EXPLORE CUMBRIA & THE LAKE DISTRICT FROM KEKAROKA LODGE
If you do get tired of recharging your batteries, toasting in-front of the wood-burner, or taking in the views from the deck or hot tub there's a host of places to explore. In this part of the North of England we are blessed with nature's beauty. We're located in the North Pennines National Landscape and a UNESCO Global Geopark. Tottergill Farm water comes from the Tottergill spring, so you'll drink spring water from the tap and bathe in to too, it's very refreshing! We're well positioned to access the picturesque North of England, only 10 minutes from Carlisle, 20 minutes from Penrith and an hour from Newcastle.
OUR LOCATION
Kekaroka Lodge is located at Tottergill Farm at Castle Carrock and nestles in the Cumbrian countryside east of Carlisle at the foot of the North Pennines. The village is surrounded by rolling countryside, the beauty spots of Talkin Tarn and Castle Carrock reservoir are both close by. The market town of Brampton is a 10 minute drive with shops, bars and restaurants, or head to Carlisle for the cinema, shopping or explore the historical Castle and Cathedral. If historical sites are of interest Hadrian’s Wall and Lanercost Priory are both within a short drive. The Lake District is an hours drive away as is Newcastle with its cosmopolitan night-life and the Metro Centre at Gateshead for all your designer brand shops.

The Duke of Cumberland has a fabulous reputation and serves freshly cooked food and local ales Tuesdays - Sundays. There are lots of other village pubs and places to eat nearby. The Andalusian Restaurant & Bar in Carlisle is great for drinks, tapas and Sunday Lunch.
