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.

Windermere area
Windermere village is one minute from the doorstep, with shops, a large supermarket Booths, cafes, restaurants ( Indian, Chinese, Italian, English, etc ) traditional pubs ( 4 ), garage, post office, chemists, deli, fresh bread shops, newsagents etc. If you know your arrival time is around 4.00 pm why not do your shopping online and have it delivered to the door by Tesco from Barrow in Furness. They deliver 7 days a week to Windermere. The 3 screen cinema is only 2 minutes down the hill by car, again with restaurants all around it, plus pubs and Inns. Two minutes further down the hill again is Lake Windermere with boat trips all day, every day on the half hour and hour.
The Beatrix Potter Exhibition Centre is based in Bowness. Lots of live music in the evenings, tapas bars, and 2 disco's if you have the energy. Windermere Golf Club is 5 minutes by car, the pitch and putt in Bowness is the same distance, it depends on how seriously you take your golf ! Tennis courts 5 mins away. Horse riding 5 minutes away also. Lots of fishing, trout and course.

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.
