Opposite The Cottage is a large orchard with views over an agricultural field and then onto the Solway Firth. This is Harridans wall territory, with Bousted Hill being closely located to the villages of Burgh-by-Sands (2.2 miles) and Bowness on Solway (5.7miles), on a road know as Cycle Route 72. This perhaps indicates another potential use for the outbuildings, as possible conversion to holiday accommodation (subject to planning consents).
