High Cup Nick

Tourist attraction

👍👍 Absolutely stunning walk. Started from Dufton as advised by other reviewers and it was pretty easy to make the way up from there, especially as a solo walker. Would definitely do again as apparently there’s amazing rock formations and other sections I had to miss due to arriving too late in the day.

PREDATOR EXPERIENCE - Wolf Experience UK

Animal park

👍👍 Amazing and informative experience ! The wolves look small in photos but trust me they're bigger than they look and the real deal! Not only did we enjoy the company of the animals, but Dee and Dan were great hosts. Our car broke down when we were leaving and they offered us hot cocoa, food, fuel, a...

Cathedral Cave

Tourist attraction

👍👍 Be warned: make sure to plan your trip in advance! I've no idea where the nearest parking is but we cheated a bit (albeit unintentionally). We didn't see a no parking sign and continued down a dirt path where we parked opposite a gate - a 2 minute walk from the cave! It's a great place to go and exp...

Ashes Caravan Park

Mobile home park

👍👍 Fantastic site with friendly owners. Thank you for the kendal mint cake. The site is situated in the country and is one of the best sites we have been to. Spotless showers, toilets and dish washing area. Dog area to let your pets off the lead. We would definitely be returning soon.

Black Moss Pot

Tourist attraction

👍👍 Lovely place and such a great walk (roughly 2 miles) from stonethwaite campsite. It takes in some awesome waterfalls and shallow pools for the younger children to play in. Once you arrive at Black Moss Pit there's stunning views across the fields more notably Scafell Pike. There's a big jump from th...

Loughrigg Fell

Tourist attraction

👍👍 Fairly steep but not overly challenging climb that takes about 20 minutes from the south shore of Grasmere, rewarded with a panoramic vista from the trig point at the summit. Great aerial views of nearby Grasmere and Rydal Water, with Windermere clearly visible to the south. I parked at Pelter Bridg...

Wansfell Pike

Hiking area

👍👍 We parked in Troutbeck and had a steady walk up and along the ridge to Wansfell Pike. It wasn't a very difficult walk up to the fell but was very boggy in places. The views of Windamere were beautiful and also great views of Ambleside.

4.90 (91 reviews) (~14.36 km from centre)

Easedale Tarn

Tourist attraction

👍👍 Absolutely stunning place, well worth the visit and the walk up, even in the rain! Loved my time up and around the tarn, from seeing the hummocky moraine around the place as evidence of its glacial history and also for exercise. 10/10, cannot think of anyone who I wouldn’t recommend to come here.

Farleton Knott

Scenic spot

👍👍 A really nice little hill. Views over to Morecambe Bay, Ingleborough, South Lakes etc. etc. You can see the M6 motorway, Kendal, Heysham Power Station, Grange over Sands, the Kent Estuary. If you like Limestone pavement you're well catered for. The landscape is incredibly varied for such a small are...

Arnside Knott Viewpoint

Hiking area

👍👍 Arnside Knott is an excellent walk with fantastic views for not much effort. (If you own some binoculars bring them on this walk). Follow the the single track road right to the very end - initially it looks like a road to nowhere as it becomes rough and a little potholed. Keep going up until you rea...

Morland House, Cumbria

Self-catering accommodation

👍👍 We held my mums 80th birthday weekend here at the end of August. This is the second time we have used the house for a large family celebration, and it is one of our special places. The house is exceptional with its period features - the interior is stunning - plenty of space, amazing gardens and the...
