Hartley Castle, Hartley, Kirkby Stephen, Cumbria. CA17 4JJ

Hartley Castle is a 220ha working sheep farm extending from the River Eden in Kirkby Stephen to Nine Standards Rigg (a line of Cairns of unknown origin).

 

 

Recently the Northern Viaducts trust opened a walk along the old railway line from Stenkrith Park to Hartley passing over Podgill and Merrygill Viaducts with beautiful views across our farm.

He was executed for treason after negotiations with Robert the Bruce in 1325. The estate was then sold to the Musgrave family.
