**Vendors View**
We moved here over 18 years ago, it is so peaceful and tranquil, it's just
beautiful listening to the birds during the day and the owls at night whilst
sitting out looking across the fells from our elevated location. We are right
in the heart of Gisburn Forest. We are keen mountain bikers/ E bikers, and we
ride straight out of the driveway onto the purpose - built mountain bike trails
in and around the forest without ever touching tarmac! It's in such a fabulous
location that we have even hosted product launches and demo days for world
leading mountain bike manufacturers. The area also attracts many cyclists and
walkers who love to enjoy this Area of outstanding natural beauty. We hope
that you will love it just as much as our family have done.
