As a location for exploring the Lake District and Cumbria we don’t think it can be beaten. A quick hop over the imposing Kirkstone Pass and down the famous “Struggle’ and you arrive in Ambleside with access from there to Winderemers, Coniston and the southern fells. A short drive to the north and you will find yourself in awe of the beautiful Ulswater Valley providing access to Helvellyn and Striding Edge. A little further afield is Keswick, the northern fells and the stunning Bassenthwaite, Crummock and Buttermere. So much to see and do all within about a 20 mile radius.
Closer to home. Leave the car or explore further afield it makes the perfect base for a variety of activities and excursions. Whether it’s a full days hike up Fairfield, a stroll around Brotherswater, a picnic, bbq, swim or trip on the Ulswater Steamers or simply just sitting back outside the Yurt enjoying the view, there is lots to do for one and all. Whatever you decide there will be a fine local ale waiting and hearty pub meal for you to enjoy next to the open fire or on the terrace in the Brotherswater Inn (located on site) upon your return.
A stones throw from the site is Glenridding, Patterdale, Pooley Bridge and the stunning Ulswater. Visit Aira Force or enjoy an afternoon tea in one of the many cafes, there is so much to see and do without ever leaving the valley.
Also available a short drive away are an array of outdoor activities. Why not try moonlit canoeing, stand up paddle boarding or make a full day of it for a peddle and paddle adventure? Also available to book with your stay are all manner of Bushcraft experiences as well as some more traditional outdoor activities such as gorge scrambling and rock climbing. Adventure awaits, seize the day. See our THINGS TO DO page for more information and booking.
