Welcome to Sedgwick

Sedgwick is a small village located in the South Lakeland district of Cumbria, England. The village is situated on the A590 road, which connects Kendal to the M6 motorway. Sedgwick is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is a popular destination for walkers and cyclists. The village has a population of around 1,000 people and is home to a number of local businesses, including a post office, a pub, and a primary school.

One of the main attractions in Sedgwick is the Hincaster Tunnel, which is located on the Lancaster Canal. The tunnel is over 600 meters long and was built in the early 19th century to transport goods between Kendal and Lancaster. Today, the tunnel is a popular spot for walkers and cyclists, who can enjoy the peaceful surroundings and stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The canal is also home to a variety of wildlife, including ducks, swans, and herons.

Another popular attraction in Sedgwick is the nearby Levens Hall, a historic country house and garden. The house was built in the 16th century and is known for its impressive topiary gardens, which feature over 100 different shapes and designs. Visitors can explore the house and gardens, which are open to the public from April to October. The house also hosts a number of events throughout the year, including a Christmas market and a summer music festival.

Hyning Scout Wood
This Is A Small Woodland Area Where You Can Easily Spend A Good Hour Or So Walking Your Dogs. For Some Dogs I Would Recommend Leads Or Longlines As The Forest Is Surrounded By A Busy Road And Farmers' Fields That Sometimes Contain Livestock. There Are Plenty Of Different Routes To Take In This Forest Making For Some Interesting Walks, Although It Can Get Very Muddy In Autumn And Winter! Depending On Which Routes You Take It Can Be Quite Hilly And Treacherous Under Foot So Care Should Be Taken.
