Laburnum Cottage, Satterthwate
Grizedale Forest
The studio is situated in Satterthwaite at Laburnum Cottage, Two miles south of the Grizedale Centre. The studio until recently was a small room in Laburnum Cottage where Robert has worked from for the past twenty years.
Since starting printing in house we have steadily increased our product range, now having a large selection of cards and prints we found that we had little room for display. The solution as been to develop a dedicated area
for the display of his original works of art, prints and cards.
Laburnum Cottage is a grade 2 listed building formally a coaching inn dating back to 1600s. The new studio is situated in a barn attached to the house which used to be the living quarters, stables and hay loft. The barn conversion has been tastefully done to reflect the former use of the building and create an excellent area to display Roberts work.

Display Area
Robert Fletcher Wildlife Studio
The interior of the new studio is now finished we now have a dedicated print area on the second floor and a additional seating area for viewing, teas, coffee and light refreshments are now available.
We aim to use the second floor for printing and a general display area.
Buzzard in Aviaries
The Aviaries at laburnum Cottage presently have a selection of birds of prey and owls. Very popular is our Eagle Owl rescued locally.We also have breeding pairs barn owls which have enabled us to re-release these endangered birds of prey back into the wild in and around the Rusland Valley. Tawney Owls and Buzzards can also can be seen in the aviaries.
Red Kites have also just been released in the forest by the forestry Commision
