Windermere walks – always something new

Yesterday Tom went to the Windermere Air Festival with friends and we took the opportunity to do our favourite walk around Dubbs reservoir.. We do this walk a lot but we never get tired of it as there is always something new to make it interesting.  As we climbed up from Limefitt Park the [...]

The Dog Friendly Lake District

Happy New Year to all our friends out there.

As a special new Year treat I am bringing you an article that I found in the nether reaches of the internet. Enjoy!

Now all of our lodges are dog-friendly!

We have just taken the decision that all 4 of our luxury pine lodges will be dog-friendly as of the start of next season.

A stroll along Cunswick Fell

Last week we took the road less travelled and walked along Cunswick Fell near Kendal.

Cunswick Fell

This is a nice gentle walk with great views and isn’t over-crowded even in high Summer.

From the limestone pavement of the car park to the  fossils along the [...]

Foxgloves and Cobwebs

I took Suki round Ing Bridge yesterday for the first time for a while. Recently we’ve all been a bit pre-occupied with getting the new Lodge, Troutbeck View, up and running, so it was good to get out even though it was a bit overcast. The hedgerows seem to have erupted since I was [...]

An expedition to the source of the Troutbeck

Ok , so it’s not exactly the White Nile, but an expedition to see where the beck begins its journey had been on my list of walks to to do for some time now. I set of on Thursday morning bright and early armed with a rucksack full of wet/cold weather clothes, map, compass [...]

A stroll up to Orrest Head above Windermere

I’ve had an outstanding task for a few months now since I told www.walkingworld.com that I’d add a circular walk up from Troutbeck up to Orrest Head. This is a lovely gentle walk up tothe top of one of the lowest fells in the Lakes. At only just over 750 feet it hardly qualifies [...]

Easter in the Lake District

We just got back from a fantastic Easter weekend in the Lakes.  I managed to wangle a couple of extra days by claiming that I had things to do….

I took the chance to go up to Dubbs with Suki again. As you can see thay have worked hard at repairing the damage done [...]
