Local attractions

It’s easy to pack your Penrith days with plenty of activity. For aquatic antics, plot a course to Pooley Bridge, 10 minutes’ drive away on Ullswater, where there’s a sailing centre, a yacht club, boat hire and the Ullswater Canoe Trail to follow. Those who’d rather stay dry can hurtle down the mountain bike trails at Whinlatter Forest Park (25 minutes’ drive), make their way along the high ropes course at Go Ape Grizedale (an hour) or sign up for archery, climbing and orienteering at Newlands Adventure Centre (half an hour). Hardy walkers might like to join the Coast To Coast Walking Route around 11 miles away at Shap, where there's a 12th-century abbey, or mount an assault on Skiddaw, half an hour away. Want to see below the surface? Head to Honister Slate Mine (45 minutes) for mine tours and a via ferrata climbing route. Dial the pace down a bit with more leisurely outings to Penrith Castle (five minutes), Askham Hall (10 minutes) and spectacular Appleby Castle (20 minutes).
