Less
than 3 miles from Appleby, in the direction of Great Asby Village
follow the signs to Rutter Falls - an impressive waterfall nestling
at the end of a country lan in the heart of the Eden Valley.
Relax in absolute tranquility as you marvel at this lovely setting
from the footbridge.
Fresh coffee, homemade cakes and scones are availiable from the
riverside cafe, also delicious ice cream and milk shakes. By the
ford you can also feed the fowl with a tub of grain.
Then
ample along to `BUG-IN-A-RUG` - a gallery housed in the old mill
and power station - a fine ancient building in natural stone with
'back shot' water-wheel. You can often observe tranditional rag-mugs
being expertly crafted in the gallery whilst browsing the wide selection
of original paintings and prints, all manner of object d`art and
gifts to suit all ages and pockets. 'Bug-in-a-Rug' at Rutter Falls
is a little known secret
- a hidden oasis in the Eden Valley. We are open everyday 10 - 5.30
from Easter - October and weekends in November and December.
