Larch Cottage Nurseries, Melkinthorpe, near Penrith Cumbria

Larch Cottage Nurseries, Melkinthorpe, near Penrith Cumbria, has to be one of the most significant finds I have made in Cumbria. If you love gardening, fine food or art then this place has oodles to offer. The unique range of hardy perenials, delicious continental style cuisine in the cafe and the newly opened Red Barn Gallery are at least half a days worth of slow relaxing endulgence.
