Former walled garden of Shaw End
Former walled garden of Shaw End
In the heyday of this country house, the walled garden would have been full of vegetables for the house. Now it has some fruit trees, a polytunnel and a couple of caravans.
Shaw End, Patton Bridge, Cumbria

Shaw End is a Georgian mansion that was built in 1796. It was built for the Shepherd family, owners of local mills, who are recorded in the area as far back as the 1600s. The family owned the house into the 20th century, the last owner was Wellesley Shepherd, a distant cousin who inherited the property. There was a disastrous fire in the 1980's, which gutted the house. A few years later it was bought by the family who farmed the land around it. They spent several years restoring it, creating 4 apartments which are now available as holiday properties. I stayed there for the first time in September 2020, and loved the place.
