Welcome to Down Hall

Down Hall is a picturesque village located in the heart of Cumbria. The village is surrounded by lush green hills and is home to a small community of friendly locals. The village is known for its quaint cottages, which are made of local stone and have thatched roofs. The cottages are surrounded by beautiful gardens, which are filled with colorful flowers and plants. The village is also home to a small church, which dates back to the 12th century. The church is a popular attraction for visitors, who come to admire its beautiful stained glass windows and ancient architecture.

One of the most unique features of Down Hall is its annual village fair. The fair is held every summer and is a celebration of the village's rich history and culture. The fair features traditional games and activities, such as tug-of-war, sack races, and apple bobbing. There are also stalls selling local crafts and produce, as well as live music and entertainment. The fair is a great opportunity for visitors to experience the warmth and hospitality of the village's residents, who are always eager to share their traditions and stories with visitors.

Another popular attraction in Down Hall is the village pub. The pub is a cozy and welcoming place, where locals and visitors alike gather to enjoy a pint of ale and a hearty meal. The pub is known for its delicious home-cooked food, which is made using locally sourced ingredients. The pub also hosts regular events, such as quiz nights and live music performances. The pub is a great place to relax and unwind after a day of exploring the village and its surroundings.
