Grizedale Forest is on our doorstep, offering plenty of trails for keen mountain bikers and walkers or Go Ape! for those feeling a bit more adventurous. Beatrix Potter's home at Hill Top is two miles away and there are rowing boats to hire at the trout farm just down the road. The southern fells are easily accessible, as are the villages of Coniston and Ambleside.
