Flock-In Tearoom, Lake District, Cumbria*

Nestled in deepest Borrowdale is the tiny village of Rosthwaite, home to the Flock-In – a farmyard café that serves tea and coffee by the pint, making it a welcome sight for any walker. Food options include scones, cakes and delicious pasties and stews cooked with lamb from the local Herdwick flocks, a breed that’s roamed the Cumbrian fells for centuries. And if you loop up into the surrounding hills you’ll find another café, Caffle House, by the tranquil shores of Watendlath Tarn.
