A favourite place to visit is Stenkrith Park, a native woodland that borders the River Eden with a variety of pathways including a beautiful viaduct walk and a great wild swimming spot at the far end of the park.
Your nearest lake is Haweswater, around 30 minutes away, with Ullswater just beyond or Windermere a 45-minute drive.
