Nestled in the shadow of the northern fells in the Lake District is a tiny village which feels a world away from the tourist hotspots in the southern lakes. Caldbeck features rows of pastel-coloured cottages painted in sugary pinks, blues and greens, overlooking lawns of velvety grass.
The village - around a two-drive from Greater Manchester - is a designated conservation area and remains largely untouched with just a couple of shops, cafes and one pub. It straddles the river Cold Beck, after which the village is named.

Very little of the village’s mining history remains today, although in the churchyard of St Kentigern’s is the Roughton Stone. It's a tribute to those who worked in the mines of Roughton Gill and the stone itself was used in the mining process. In the 17th and 18th centuries milling became the main focus, thanks to the river and the neighbouring streams, before fell farming later took over as the main industry.
You can see the well-preserved remains of an old bobbin mill just a short walk from the centre of the village, which also
