Santon Bridge is a small village in the Lake District in the county of Cumbria. It lies on the banks of the River Irt, close to Wast Water. Holiday cottages in Santon Bridge are surrounded by some of the region’s most spectacular countryside, with the rugged fells and waters of West Lakeland on their doorstep. Santon Bridge Gift Shop and Woodland Tearooms are perfect for a sandwich or a cream tea after exploring the countryside. Nearby, the Bridge Inn is best known as a venue for the annual World’s Biggest Liar competition. It was created in honour of the pub’s former landlord, renowned for his tall tales. Self-catering holidays in Santon Bridge would be incomplete without a pint of Cumbria ale or a hearty meal prepared with the finest local ingredients. Stunning walks can be enjoyed near the village, with scenic footpaths to Nether Wasdale, Boot, Wasdale Head, and Hall Dunnerdale. The Cumbria coast is a short drive westward from Santon Bridge, with vast sandy shores to discover. At the estuary of the rivers Ert, Esk and Mite, the village of Ravenglass is the national park’s only coastal village and an idyllic place to while away a day by the sea.
