There are so many great walks from the door both level and lofty, including the ascent of Helvellyn via the vertiginous Striding Edge.

Cycle hire, pony trekking, boat hire are all available locally. |
For evening entertainment try Zeferelli’s in Ambleside, an excellent independent cinema, jazz bar and vegetarian Italian restaurant or experience a 3-D aerial tour of the lakes at the I-max cinema at Rheghed, near Penrith.
