There are many other interesting things to do in the area and you will find lots of information leaflets in our cottages to give you some ideas for your holiday.

Keswick is geared towards the holiday maker and has a huge number of bars, restaurants, bistros and tearooms. There are more shops selling outdoor gear then you can possible get round in a week so don't worry if your walking boots need replacing and you haven't yet had time to get a new pair! There is also the renowned Theatre-by-the-Lake which has an entertaining program all year round. There are several parks and plenty of places to take your children and pets.

You are in a walker's paradise here in Millbeck. Skiddaw is right on our doorstep and there are a variety of routes to the top. If you are lucky you may spot deer on the lower wooded slopes and peregrine falcons nesting on the crags. From the top of Skiddaw you will have a fantastic view across to Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite Lake and the valley in between. You can also see across to Grizedale Pike and Catbells. Within a few miles of Millbeck you also have Blencathra and all the hills of the Central Fells.
