The Local Area

• The site is situated in the heart of the Lake District with a multitude of walks available from your doorstep including Place Fell, High Street, St Sunday Crag, Fairfield, Helvellyn, the Howtown to Glenridding lakeshore walk, and the wonderful new Ullswater Way which circumnavigates Ullswater and includes a fascinating Heritage Trail.
• Within a 10 minute stroll from the local shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs in the villages of Glenridding and Patterdale.
