Welcome to the Lake District
Welcome to the heart of the Lake District of England. The Lakes boast some of the finest, and unspoiled, countryside in the whole of England.
There are many walks and endless beautiful scenery to enjoy in a relaxing atmosphere away from the pressures of normal daily life.
The picturesque Lake Windermere is within 10 minutes stroll away – offering outstanding beauty as well as peace and tranquillity as you get away from the hub-hub of city life.
From the lake you can take boat rides across the lake. There are places offering cycling and sailing. You can visit the steamboat museum, also close by. Of course there is the obvious activity of fell walking.
