Hutton-in-the-Forest is the home of Lord Inglewood's family, the Fletchers, and has been since 1605 when it was purchased by Richard Fletcher, a wealthy Cockermouth merchant. One hundred years later it came to the Vane family through marriage.
Bounded on two sides by streams, Hutton-in-the-Forest, set on the northeast edge of the Lake District, is the stuff of legend. It supposedly was the Green Knight's Castle in the tale of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, part of the Arthurian fables.
Location: 6 miles northwest of Penrith
