Situated just south of Penrith and close to the northern shores of Ullswater, Tirril embodies the quintessential Cumbrian landscape of rolling fields, traditional stone buildings and stunning rural views.

History of Tirril Lodge We are led to believe the property was built circa 1879 on the site of a previous dwelling of the vicarage, by a local Methodist businessman.
