Martindale Common is situated within the Lake District National Park and lies between the lakes of Ullswater and Haweswater. There is no through road on towards Patterdale so traffic tends to be minimal in the area.
The valley at Martindale is approximately 9km long and runs roughly north to south. At it's southern end lies The Nab, seen here at the end of the valley in the centre and it's here at the Deer Forest that England's oldest herd of native red deer can be found.
At the foot of The Nab in Ramps Gill The Bungalow can be found. The Bungalow is a former shooting lodge built in 1910 by Hugh Lowther the 5th Earl of Lonsdale for a visit by Wilhelm II, Emperor of Germany who was on a deer shooting trip. File 8552.
