All my life I’ve wanted to own one of those huts, or one in a similar location. There are similar sites on the mouth of the Tees, and at Flamborough Head, and I’m sure many more scattered at remote locations around the British coast. In fact, I came across a website dedicated to the subject a while ago. I’ll include the address here because it may be of some interest.
http://hutters.uk/
I referred to the Barrow site as Lowsy Point, though I think I’ve also heard it called the Black Huts. It’s the perfect place to spend summer holidays, and I’m sure you had a great time there.
Anyway, I hope you and your relations have a fantastic break in the Lakes. It hasn’t been a great summer up to now (so I’ve heard), so some better weather is due ??? and that will mean a golden autumn. I have my fingers crossed for you.
All the best, Alen

In Dec 2013 I was surfing the web for Lake District articles and came across one of yours which started..:There is a special place on the Furness Peninsula where people live in huts for much of the year??????I was one of those people who lived in one of those huts (still family owned), most summers until I was 18. It is a special place, as is the Duddon Valley which you and I agree, should remain secret for as long as possible.

For the past 37 years I have lived in Ohio, USA but have still managed to visit the Lakes about every three years. Later this week I am meeting my American niece and her husband who later this month will be spending a vacation at Windermere and Keswick. I will be guiding them on some of my Lake District highlights and special places. I will also be introducing them to your very interesting and informative material. I hope they get a few dry weather days???.haha!
Regards, Barry

That’s right on the edge of the Lake District, in a very beautiful though little-known area. It’s one of my favourite places.
I hope to travel to Norway and Denmark at some point. I’ll drop you a line and you can put the kettle on.
Cheers, Alen

That’s a beautiful place.
I hope you’ll find a really nice home soon!!!
Late September and early October are great months for Denmark and Norway too. People are back “in business” the air is dry and you can gaze for many miles. That’s awesome???

Thanks for the advice. Home Swap sounds like a good idea, but at the moment we haven’t got a home to swap. Perhaps in the future if the urge takes us.
The English Lake District is very beautiful but at this time of year it is also very busy. The best time to visit is autumn when the leaves are turning golden. If you are lucky to get good weather in late September and early October, it is the most beautiful place in the world.
All the best, Alen
