Enjoying our break in the Lake District we walked a mile along the road to the village to have a coffee. The house was built in 1859 and downstairs was used as a Sunday School. It is now a thriving coffee shop.
The medieval monks owned much of Borrowdale from 1208 farming sheep and growing wealthy on the thriving wool trade. They established their ‘grange’ or farm here. Some of the houses may be built of stone from their original grange. Many properties are made from local slate.
The small Holy Trinity Church was built in 1861.
I hope you enjoy seeing the properties in Grange and the views along the way.

Absolutely outstanding set Sylvia - I just can't believe how you get such good images with the 18-55 lens - I must be doing something wrong lol!
Enjoyed your series a lot. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice series of shot. Thanks for the tour. I would love to visit that place
Beautiful set Sylvia. I love the countryside and the buildings, and the water in #4 and #10. I don't think I would be able to walk a mile let alone for a coffee. I would be huffing at the side of the road.
What a beautiful place that is. I love the land and the cottages a lot.
Very good series, Sylvia.

Excellent images and interesting background of a beautiful area, Sylvia. Well done as always.
Pleased you enjoyed them John and thank you very much for your lovely comments. I always appreciate them. Hope you are keeping well.
Lovely indeed, and very nicely shown here. We had a cuppa sitting outside that cafe a couple of years back. It’s a lovely spot, but then, where isn’t in The Lakes? This year we are trying Nidderdale, which I guess you may be familiar with? We’ve never been there before so hoping for some nice surprises! Will we get them?
Beautiful series of pictures, especially in the download. Nice job. Thanks for sharing.
