North Highfield was described by Harriet Martineau in her iconic 1855 work A Complete Guide to the English Lakes as “the most enviable abode in the country.”
Miss Martineau was celebrating the rare combination of the accessibility of main roads and rail connections to Windermere, and all the comforts of modern living, with the simply breathtaking panoramic views of the best that the Lakes has to offer.
