Other major visitor attractions
Holehird Gardens - Our local jewel
Just under 2 miles from the lodge is the most stunning garden with views over Windermere and the Langdale and Consiton fells. We are so impressed by the gardens here that we have given them their own page on this site !
Blackwell - The Arts & Crafts House - Bowness
Blackwell was designed by Arts and Crafts architect M H Baillie Scott as a holiday home for Sir Edward Holt, a brewer from Manchester who was twice Lord Mayor. Completed in 1900 this house is of international importance, standing at the crossroads of Victorian design and modern architecture of the 20th century. It is all the more remarkable that so much of the original interior decoration has survived intact. Rarely does a house from this period escape the march of progress made in the twentieth century in domestic living, and the many alterations for 'modernisation' that this brings.
Elizabethan Hall and Topiary Gardens. Very beautiful and well worth a visit
Dominating the River Esk, Muncaster has been of strategic importance since Roman times
The cottage where Wordsworth lived with his sister Dorothy
Hutton in the Forest - Penrith
A beautiful historic house on the North Eastern edge of the Lake District. It is surrounded by the magnificent woodland of the medieval forest of Inglewood and is the legendary Green Knight’s castle in the Arthurian tale of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.
