Local Produce

The Derby Arms sources high-quality local and seasonal products from Cumbria. Witherslack Orchards work in an environmentally sustainable way, rejecting the use of chemicals and pesticides, and encouraging wildlife to increase biodiversity.

“In my opinion, this is a charming countryside escape that stands out for its community feel and historical decor; the village shop and locally-sourced food add genuine appeal. The dog-friendly policies and proximity to Lake District attractions are definite pluses for active travelers. It's a solid choice for a relaxing, authentic experience.”
