Home description
Knott View is a great house for large families and groups, anniversaries, celebrations or just to get away from it all. The coastal village of Ravenglass is a mile and a half away, past a ruined Roman bath house. The location profits from the sunnier coastal weather and is within easy reach of the Western Lakeland fells and mountains. An isolated beach cove at the end of the drive is the perfect place for a picnic and there are miles of country walks to be enjoyed direct from the door.

The Cumbria/Lake District
Ravenglass is on the western side of the lake district, where the mountains meet the sea. This coastal aspect means that this part of the Lakes tends to get much sunnier weather than inland. It is also quieter than the busy towns of Windermere and Ambleside although there is still plenty to do.
Whitbeck area
Knott View is superby located for those looking to get away from it all. There is plenty to do in the area with just a few suggestions listed below.
RAVENGLASS Ravenglass gets the best of the Lake District weather. The village itself is right by the sea and there are a couple of pubs (one of which serves bar food) plus the Pennington Arms Hotel and Restaurant.
The Roman Bath House at Ravenglass is an impressive structure, still standing 1800 years after it was constructed - some of the walls are up to 4m high.
Ravenglass is the terminal for the The Ravenglass & Eskdale steam railway which winds its way to Eskdale, seven miles away.
Muncaster is a mile from Ravenglass and is a fantastic place to visit with its woodland gardens, owl centre and castle which is still lived in by the Pennington family.
WASDALE (7 miles) With England's deepest lake (Wastwater), highest mountain (Scafell), smallest church (St Olafs) and biggest liar, Wasdale is well worth a visit. Click here for more information about Wasdale.
ESKDALE (7 miles) Hundreds of walks including England's highest mountain, Scafell pike and Stanley Ghyll waterfall. You can hire bikes from the YHA.
AMBLESIDE (38 miles) From Eskdale is Ambleside, a sometimes hair-raising journey over Hardknott and Wrynose passes (the steepest road in England).
WHITEHAVEN (17 miles) Georgian harbour town (and your nearest supermarket - Morrisons and Tesco)
HAVERIGG (16 miles) Water-sports at Haverigg Port Water Centre.
SILECROFT BEACH (13 miles) At Silecroft there is five miles of beach. You can also go horse-riding along the beach.
CONISTON (23 miles) Coniston is a lovely village with plenty to do and seen- shops, cafes, boating on the lake, walks, horse riding …
ENNERDALE (18 miles) Ennerdale is famed for being the Lake District's wild lake. You can walk round the bottom of it or venture up on the high fells around it. There is a forest there too which has bike trails through it. Bikes can be hired from the Shepherd's Arms pub in Ennerdale.
COCKERMOUTH (26 miles) Cockermouth, the birthplace of William Wordsworth, is 11 miles away. William Wordsworth's home is worth a visit, as is Jennings Brewery and Museum.
How to get there
After leaving the M6 Motorway at Junction 36 follow the signs north for Barrow or Workington. Travelling along the A590 the village of Greenodd will be on your right. Turn off here, crossing the river and passing the garage on your left. Follow this road heading north for 30 miles. You will drive through the village of Bootle, then through Waberthwaite. Keep going for a while and you will eventually pass Muncaster Castle on your left. After Muncaster take the next left, signed Ravenglass. At Walls Caravan Site, turn left down a private road - follow signs for Knott View & Newtown House.
