Courtyard, Shap Wells Hotel
The hotel dates back to 1833 when it served as a spa. The view into the courtyard here has the feel of an old coaching inn, and the modern equivalents were outside, engines purring and ready for the off.

Under the ownership of the Earl of Lonsdale the hotel became a fashionable resort visited by many members of the aristocracy, the best known of these being HRH Princess Mary. During the second world war Shap Wells was requisitioned as a prisoner of war camp for senior Luftwaffe and German Naval Officers.
