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 Ulverston area
Set in a wonderful location, the market town of Ulverston continues to hold a street market every Thursday and Saturday, following an ancient local tradition. Today the settlement is perhaps best known as a festival town due to the many events it hosts throughout the year including walking and art festivals in the summer months and the renowned Dickensian festival in late November. Ulverston is also famous as the birthplace of Stan Laurel and is now home to the only Laurel and Hardy museum in the world. Other facilities in the town itself include a wide range of shops, cafes, restaurants, pubs, a cinema and a leisure centre. All of the attractions of the nearby National Park can be easily reached either by car, bike or public transport whilst the Furness Coast boasts sandy beaches and good birdwatching. Other attractions suitable for the whole family include the World of Beatrix Potter, the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway, the South Lakes Wild Animal Park and Muncaster Castle.

Guestbook for 2081 - The Old Bake House
Having been to the Old Bake House before we knew what to expect. The location was great for us, so near to Morecambe Bay and not a huge distance from Keswick etc. Ulverston is a friendly thriving market town, (with a brilliant little fish and chip shop). Been twice but still have a lot we want to see in the area, so will probably come back again.

,Location of property was good as was the general condition of the cottage. Plenty of local walks and places to explore. Nice variety of local shops and restaurants. On arrival the owner gave us a guided tour of the property.

,The location was excellent; convenient to shops and local pubs. Lovely little tearooms in particular 'Ship Wreck Cafe' for home made soup etc. Countryside beautiful with lovely walks for our dog who was made very welcome where ever we took him. Owners helpful. Ulverston itself very interesting town. Well done Sykes Cottages, we will be looking for something again next year.

,The cottage was in the centre of Ulverston. A super little town with short walks from the doorstep.
