Carlisle Castle, HQ of the Border Regiment during the First World War, is a 20-minute drive from Farlam and Paul Cummins (artist) and Tom Piper's (designer) acclaimed poppy sculpture is not to be missed.  Thousands of ceramic poppies will spill from the top of the castle's keep and flow across the inner ward wall into the grounds of the outer ward.  The original Cummins/Piper installation at the Tower of London comprised 888,246 poppies, one to commemorate each British or Colonial life lost at the Front during the First World War.

Set in a tranquil 12-acre estate, Farlam Hall embodies the warmth and timeless appeal of a more gracious age.  Make yourself at home in the informal surroundings and enjoy the charming hospitality of the Quinion family.  Barry's culinary skill guarantees sumptuous dinners, with a new menu each evening based on prime produce sourced that morning.  Front-of-house hostesses Helen and Lynne (Barry's wife and sister) wait at table and make sure you want for nothing.  Late spring is the perfect time for enjoying Farlam's gardens, with rhododendrons in bloom reflected in the ornamental lake.

Farlam is blessed with surroundings rich in history, culture and sublime countryside.  Within a 15-mile radius discover the finest section of Hadrian's Wall, Vindolanda's fascinating Roman archaeological site and museum, Lanercost Priory and St Martin's, Brampton, famous for its Pre-Raphaelite stained glass.  On the last Saturday of the month (May 26) Brampton's Farmers' Market is a chance to pick up some delicious local treats.  For outdoor types, the possibilities are inexhaustible: hiking, cycling, birdwatching, fishing, riding or top-quality golf.

Farlam Hall is easy to reach: Road: 11 miles from the M6; Rail: Carlisle Station (3½ hrs from London Euston), 20 mins by taxi; Air: Newcastle, 1hr (and Carlisle Lake District Airport, 15 mins by taxi, will open for scheduled flights from June 4).
