Location

The Punch Bowl is one of the finest Lake District Inn's, offering luxury accommodation in the heart of the delightfully unspoiled Lyth Valley at Crosthwaite, alongside the Parish Church of St Mary’s.

Crosthwaite itself gets its name from the Norse, meaning clearing with a cross. The present day cross made from a single piece of Limestone from nearby Whitbarrow Scar was placed to mark the Millennium, the original, probably erected by Anglican monks in the 7th Century, having long since disappeared
