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
The ancient market town of Ulverston is a settlement steeped in tradition. This charming retreat still holds a street market every Thursday and Saturday. Today it is best known as a festival town and hosts numerous events throughout the year. These include walking and art festivals in the summer months and the renowned Dickensian festival in late November. One of the town's most famous residents was Stan Laurel and Ulverston is now home to the only Laurel and Hardy museum in the world. Other facilities and points of interest include a wide range of shops, cafes, restaurants, pubs, a cinema and a leisure centre. Ulverston has managed to maintain an authentic feel and community spirit, despite its popularity as a tourist destination. The renowned Lake District National Park is within easy driving distance and the Furness Coast boasts sandy beaches and good birdwatching.

Guestbook for 1051 - Lile Gem
A charming cosy apartment and the Christmas decorations were much appreciated.

,The shops, the market and the buses are all within 2 to 5 Min's of walking. Good night life and in door and outdoor markets. Not far from the Lake district by car or bus. The flat was home from home and this is the second time this year we have been.

,The accommodation was very clean and comfortable. It was in a brilliant location for both the town and easy access for nearby walks for us and our dog. The beds and towels were lovely and clean. We had more than enough for our holiday. Thank you.

,Returning back to Ulverston was made so much more pleasurable thanks to this wonderful property - it was a home away from home with everything imaginable available. The location was perfect and having the added bonus of the parking permit was fantastic. We thoroughly loved our stay here and will book again!
