There is so much to see and do in Cumbria - The Lake District that you will find there just aren't enough hours in the day or days in the week. You can potter around charming Lakeland towns and villages, explore the history of the area at its castles and historical houses, enjoy the great variety of attractions or have some family fun at the many events taking place all year round. Whatever the weather, there is something for everyone.

The Low Wood leisure club is a short walk away and offers a swimming pool, a beauty salon and a bar along with other leisure activities.

The Lake District was the home to one of the great children's authors Beatrix Potter. With the release of the film "Miss Potter", Lakeside and Waterhead Cottages make the perfect bases to see the sites of the film and learn about one of the country's best loved authors.
