The Cumbria/Lake District

The Lake District is simply the most beautiful area in northern England, being home to Beatrix Potter, Wordsworth, Ruskin, the National Park, mountains galore for walking, cycling, special cycle trails through forests, market towns like Kendal, Keswick, Penrith, picture postcard villages such as Hawkshead and Kirby Lonsdale.

Water activities aplenty on Windermere, Coniston to name but two. Steam railways at Lakeside and further up the coast, Eskdale (with Thomas the Tank weekends ). Fabulous beaches on the west coast of Cumbria, and Scotland only an hour away.

Further details indoors:
' Above The Brook ' is named after both the local pub ( 200 yards away, The Brookside Inn ) and the stream that runs behind the pub. It is a one minute walk into Windermere village where there are cafes, street culture, restaurants, pubs, shops, post office, banks, fuel station etc. Bowness on Windermere ( by the lake ) is two minutes by car down the hill. We are totally central as Kendal is 8 miles east, Ambleside is 5 miles north, and Hawkshead / Coniston are 7 or so miles west.

Further details outdoors:
A fully flagged rear courtyard, a garden wc, outhouse for bikes etc, outside tap for washing bikes down, plus a small single garage as well, off the rear lane. Please note this is a very tight turn-in from the lane, I think it was built for a bubble car !
Completely walled for your children's safety, with a tall gate leading to the quiet back lane.
