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 Lakeland town of Kendal has a great reputation for shopping, and is situated on the banks of the River Kent - known as the Southern Gateway to the Lakes. Branching off the attractive main street are a number of old cobbled lanes and byways, as well as the stone ruins of the 12th Century Kendal Castle, positioned above the town on a hill with views over the settlement. The Abbot Hall Art Gallery hosts a regular collection of portraits by Kendal born artist George Romney as well as works by Turner and Ruskin. Other exhibitions are sometimes on offer, made possible through the gallery's links with the Tate. Both Sizergh Castle and Levens Hall - with its superb Topiary Garden - are within easy driving distance as are limestone escarpments for easy walking and thrilling views of the Lakeland Mountains, the Howgills and Morecambe Bay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Wain Gap Cottage. The location was perfect and the cottage is situated in a small wood surrounded by squirrels, rabbits, and the occasional deer if you are lucky.... more |
Guestbook for 1072 - Wain Gap Cottage
This place was a very good base for the Lakes and had a good farm shop close by. It was nice and tranquil, with good views of the bay.
Mr Asso, Leeds, West Yorkshire
September 2011
,An old cottage (with very uneven floors!) but well modernised and equipped. Set in thick woods so very shaded - remains cool. Good local walks including to Sizergh Castle.
