Location
Tranna Hill is situated near Newbiggin-on-Lune, a peaceful
and unspoilt village in the upper Eden valley in Cumbria.
Newbiggin-on-Lune and the nearby village of Ravenstonedale
are set amid beautiful rolling countryside in the parish
of Ravenstonedale. They nestle at the foot of the Howgill
fells between the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales
national parks. This area really is a beautiful back-water,
secluded and tranquil. Never-the-less the villages remain
easy to get to with good transport links.
