Keswick, Ambleside, Windermere...there is so much to see and do within this part of the Lake District, and we have tried to provide an idea of the range of activities and places to visit to help you plan your stay at the Red Lion Inn. If you would like more information, please do not hesitate to contact us or use the excellent. Cumbrian Tourist Board website. Cruising... There are four lakes upon which you can enjoy a relaxing cruise: Windermere The largest of all the lakes. Cruises run throughout the year, from Waterhead, (Ambleside), Bowness and Lakeside at the Southern end of the lake. Ullswater For many visitors Ullswater is the finest of all the lakes, and the views from the Ullswater steamers are excellent. Cruises run throughout the summer and at limited periods during the winter and spring. Boats leave from Glenridding, at the Southern end of the Lake, and cruise to Pooley Bridge, at the northern end. Derwentwater A time tabled water bus service runs around Derwentwater for much of the year, calling at various points on the Lake shore to pick up and set down. A cruise is nice, but many people use this service to take them up the Borrowdale Valley in order to start their walk, and a water bus is very much an integral part of the transport system for walkers in the region. Coniston Here you can cruise in style on board the world's oldest steam operated yacht, The Gondola. Built in 1860, this fine vessel cruises sedately across Coniston Water, from Coniston village to the East side of the Lake. Here, passengers may disembark to enjoy a walk, or visit Brantwood, the home of the artist John Ruskin. The views from the east side of Coniston are among the finest in the world. Literary Heritage Few regions of England have a literary heritage that is as rich and varied as that of the Lake District. Writers, poets and artists have long been attracted to the area, and the most famous of these, William Wordsworth, was born at Cockermouth, lived for a short time in Penrith, was schooled in Hawkshead, and for much of his life lived at Grasmere and Rydal. Consequently there are a large number of sites with direct links to William Wordsworth, and following the Wordsworth trail could take up an entire holiday. His birthplace in Cockermouth, the Grammar School in Hawkshead, and his homes at Dove Cottage, (Grasmere) and Rydal Mount are all open to the public. Children's author, Beatrix Potter also lived and worked in the Lake District, although not until after the publication of many of her books. Several of the locations in her books are Lakeland ones, and many landmarks are recognisable from her original drawings. The Beatrix Potter Gallery, which is next door to the Red Lion Inn in Hawkshead, and Hill Top, the farmhouse where she first lived in the Lake District, are both open to the public. John Ruskin, the artist, writer and critic lived for the latter part of his life at Brantwood, which stands on the East Side of Coniston water. The house is now open to the public, and well worth a visit. Several other literary heroes are associated with the Lake District, including Hugh Walpole, Arthur Ransome, Harriet Martinique, and more recently, the poet Norman Nicholson. An item of interest for a younger readers, and their parents, is that Postman Pat is actually set in a Lakeland Valley. Longsleddale, near Kendal was turned into Greendale by the book's author John Cunliffe, who got the idea for Postman Pat after accompanying a postman friend of his on his rounds one day! More Places to Visit There are tigers in South Lakeland, at the South Lakes Wild Animal Park. There are rare breeds at Trotters and Friends, at Bassenthwaite. At the Lakeland Wildlife Oasis, they will even let you tickle a snake, or cuddle a tarantula. If stepping back in time to re-live boyhood memories of days gone by is your idea of bliss, then a steam train ride is probably right up your street. You'll be on the right track in South Lakeland, at the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway, which boasts the oldest preserved steam loco in the world still able to pull a train. At Ravenglass there is the world's smallest regular passenger railway. The Ravenglass and Eskdale railway serves the communities of the Eskdale Valley, and runs on 15 in gauge track. The seven mile journey from the coast to the foot of England's highest mountains takes about 35 minutes. The Romans occupied the Lake District for 400 years, and left many landmarks for modern day tourists to visit, including one of the world's most famous historical sites :- Hadrian's Wall. The wall started close to Carlisle, and it's remains at Birdoswald fort are easily accessible from the Lake District. Closer to Hawkshead, the Roman fort at Galava, (Ambleside), is still visible today, as are traces of the Roman road that led from Ambleside to Ravenglass. Hardknott fort is situated at the top of Hardknott pass, the old road from Ambleside to Ravenglass, and at Ravenglass itself are the very well preserved remains of a Roman bath house. The Lakeland of 200 years ago was a very different place to that which we know today. Tourism, the regions major industry, did not really exist in an economically viable form, and the inhabitants of the region worked the land and the forests in order to make ends meet. Mining was a major industry, with towns such as Keswick and Coniston being major mining centres. The Fells around Coniston are littered with old mine shafts, remnants of the days when Copper ore was mined from these hills in vast quantities. At Threlkeld, just outside Keswick, is a mining museum that provides a unique insight into this long gone industry. Woodland industries were also prominent, and 5 miles from Hawkshead is Stott Park Bobbin Mill, which was fully operational until the 1960's, and is now a living museum. Muncaster Mill, near Ravenglass, can be accessed by taking a short ride on the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway. Here, flour is made the traditional way, and you can buy a bag that you have milled yourself! There are many large houses in Lakeland, each with it's own family history. Two of the most interesting are Holker Hall, home of the Cavendish family. As well as the house, you can also visit the gardens, and the hall includes the world famous Lakeland Motor Museum. Muncaster Castle, close to Ravenglass, is reputed to be England's most haunted castle. It is open to the public daily, as are the adjoining garden centre, and Owl Centre, which is worth the admission fee in it's own right. Grizedale forest is just 3 miles from Hawkshead, and is well worth a visit. There is a Visitor centre from where guided trails lead to various parts of the forest. Amongst the highlights on these trails are some superb and often unexpected view points, and a number of unique woodland sculptures, some of which can be played like musical instruments. There are also a number of cycle trails and cycle hire is available at the visitor centre.
