Discover Myddle

Myddle combines traces of history with a varied landscape. The tower of the Church of St Peter dates from around 1634 and was built by John Dod. In addition, there are the surviving remains of Myddle Castle, paths through fields and footpaths, as well as the natural surroundings of Fenemere. For your travel planning, this offers a choice between culture, landscapes and culinary impressions.

History between the Church of St Peter and Myddle Castle

Those interested in the history of a place can take two different historical testimonies in Myddle into account. The tower of the Church of St Peter provides an insight into the history of the village's architecture: it dates from around 1634 and was built by John Dod. Myddle Castle dates back even further. The castle was built around 1307 for Lord Lestrange of Knockin.

At Myddle Castle, a stair tower at one corner and two sides of the inner boundary wall of the rectangular moat have survived. The remains reveal the stair tower, the sections of wall and the shape of the rectangular moat. Instead of including only a historical name in your travel plans, you can focus on specific details: the stair tower, the sections of wall and the shape of the rectangular moat.

Fenemere and paths through the landscape

Fenemere makes a distinctive contribution to the landscape. The body of water has extensive stands of white and yellow water lilies and is important for its species-rich fauna of aquatic invertebrates. Those interested in aquatic nature will find a particular focus for planning a trip to Myddle here.

Several Gough Walks offer different perspectives on the landscape. Gough Walk 5 passes Fenemere, while Gough Walk 1 leads through fields, along footpaths and beside country roads.

Gough Walk 6 starts at the car park of the Red Lion in Myddle. This specific starting point provides useful orientation when planning your day. If you are travelling with different age groups, you can decide together in advance whether to focus on historical impressions, the landscape around Fenemere or a route through the fields. You can then look for accommodation in Myddle that suits this desired travel experience, without having to limit your days to a single outing.

Regional cuisine and choosing your accommodation

The Red Lion in Myddle serves classic dishes and roasts made with seasonal ingredients. This gives travel planning a culinary dimension alongside history and nature. When looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home in Myddle, you can therefore first consider which experiences should shape your trip: historical discoveries, paths through the landscape, nature at Fenemere or regional cuisine. This makes choosing accommodation part of a clear decision about location, rather than simply a question of where to stay overnight.
