The Cumbria/Lake District region
Impressive mountains, open fells and clear-water lakes – the Lake District landscape has inspired several literary greats, including William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter. Water, where you can cruise the lake on a steam-powered yacht soaking up the scenery in Victorian style, could be for you. Walking is one of the best ways of exploring the Lake District.
For the serious walker the mountains of Skiddaw, Scafell and Helvellyn provide enjoyable challenges, whilst at lower levels there are hundreds of routes wandering among the lakes and stone-walled fields. You can even choose a lake to suit your mood: if bustling lakeside towns and exhilarating watersports take your fancy, then Windermere and Coniston Water, where you can cruise the lake on a steam-powered yacht soaking up the scenery in Victorian style, could be for you. If it’s peace and tranquility you seek then the secluded lakes of Buttermere and Wastwater are not to be missed. Yet Cumbria offers much more than the lakes alone. Explore the National Nature Reserve on Walney Island or visit the picturesque Duddon Valley, where the heather clad moors peppered with birch trees inspired many of Wordsworth’s poems.
With its award-winning gardens and the Lakeland Motor Museum, Holker Hall is also a great day out, whilst in northern Cumbria the peaceful villages of Caldbeck and Ireby offer a haven of solitude and picturesque tranquility. To the east lies the green and sheltered Eden Valley. Its dramatic landscape provides a range of activities including walking, cycling and watersports and is home to the Lakeland Bird of Prey Centre and Lowther Wildlife Park, perfect for a family day out
The Kendal area
The historic Lake District town of Kendal is set on the banks of the River Kent and is often referred to as the Southern Gateway to the Lakes. Its old cobbled lanes and byways branch off from the attractive main street – with a well-deserved reputation for excellent shopping - whilst the stone ruins of 12th Century Kendal Castle create an incredibly dramatic skyline. Visitors can enjoy The Abbot Hall Art Gallery, with a regular collection holding portraits by Kendal born George Romney and works by Turner and Ruskin. The gallery also boasts links with the Tate and so other exhibitions throughout the year are also well worth investigating. Both Sizergh Castle and Levens Hall are nearby, as are numerous limestone escarpments, offering thrilling views of the Lakeland Mountains, the Howgills and Morecambe Bay. The town of Kendal itself is well placed for exploring the Lake district and the Yorkshire Dales.

Pefect location as a base for discovering the Lake District, the accomodation was excellent and plenty of places to eat could be found in the local town. All in all a fantastic place to stay. Verified by FlipKey, a TripAdvisor company |

Guestbook for 2657 - The Old Vicarage
A very well maintained and lovingly cared for property.
Mrs Douglas, Whitby, North Yorkshire
November 2011
,We visited The Old Vicarage for our honeymoon in October 2011. We can't speak highly enough of the standard of the accommodation - everything you could want for on arrival, plus those little things you always forget and have to do without until morning, like milk, tea bags, bottle opener, soap etc. Kendal is beautiful with pubs, great restaurants and shopping just a quick stroll away. Kendal Castle and breathtaking views are right on your doorstep. Handy for trains and buses to local attractions.

,Kendal was a lovely Lakeland town but the standard of the accommodation,
made the holiday extra special.
Mrs Johnson -Wood, Mexborough, South Yorkshire
October 2011
,'The Old Vicarage' was perfect for a relaxing break yet minutes away from Kendal town center. We cannot rate highly enough the standard of this property. The owners have taken the utmost care to ensure the comfort of their guests - highly recommended! Thanks to Sykes Cottages too for their professionalism.
