The name comes from Ingle Wood that used to stretch from Penrith to north of Carlisle and was reputed to be one of the richest hunting forests in England - attracting Henry Tudor himself. The extensive grounds were once set to very rigid formal gardens but are now mainly open pasture with a small formal walled garden. The grounds were also used during WWII to hide active planes from the Luftwaffe.
