Feel like getting away from it all? Here’s where to seek splendid isolation
No phone or television signals, no neighbours. This cottage in Eskdale is reached along a track that even a 4WD would struggle with. There’s no proper bathroom in the former cow byre, but it is surrounded by enormous beauty, with uninterrupted views down the valley and around Scafell Pike and Hardknott Pass. The cottage has electricity, open fires and two bedrooms.
From £214 for two nights, nationaltrust.org.uk
