Local attractions

For active times, check the forecast, pack proper kit and prepare to climb fells like Orrest Head (40 minutes' drive), just above Windermere, or head to Whicham (35 minutes) to scale the heights of Black Combe. For further sporty options, you might like to hire a paddleboard or wind-powered vessel at Coniston Boating Centre (35 minutes) and head to Go Ape Grizedale (35 minutes) for an excellent treetop obstacle course. Of course, there are other ways to take in the natural splendour of the Lakes – a trip aboard a steamer in Ullswater (an hour), going sightseeing around Aira Force waterfall (an hour and 10 minutes), or riding the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway (45 minutes) are all good ways forward if you're looking for spectacular scenery without too much physical exertion. Finally, to learn a little about the area's past, turn to the timeworn ruins of Furness Abbey (10 minutes), the industrial heritage of The Dock Museum in Barrow-in-Furness (15 minutes) or admire the magnificent house and gardens at Muncaster Castle (45 minutes).
