Welcome to Little Asby

Little Asby is a small village located in the county of Cumbria, England. It is situated in the northern part of the county, close to the border with Northumberland. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside, with rolling hills and green fields stretching as far as the eye can see. Little Asby is a peaceful and tranquil place, perfect for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.

One of the main attractions of Little Asby is its proximity to the Pennine Way, a long-distance footpath that runs from Derbyshire to Scotland. The village is a popular starting point for walkers who want to explore this stunning route, which takes in some of the most beautiful scenery in the country. There are also plenty of other walking and cycling routes in the area, including the nearby Howgill Fells, which offer breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.

Despite its small size, Little Asby has a rich history and is home to several interesting landmarks. One of the most notable is the ancient stone circle known as Long Meg and Her Daughters, which is located just a few miles from the village. This mysterious site is thought to date back to the Bronze Age and is shrouded in legend and folklore. Other historic sites in the area include the ruins of Pendragon Castle and the medieval church of St. Michael and All Angels in nearby Appleby-in-Westmorland.
