This traditional market town is full of great things to discover. If you like culture check out the Theatre by The Lake with award-winning arts and drama on the banks of Derwentwater, where you can hire a rowing boat or even take a dip if you need to cool down. For fun you could try Puzzling Place, a mind-boggling attraction based on optical illusions, or the Derwent Pencil Museum, home to the largest pencil in the world. If you want a wild day out, try The Lake District Wildlife Park at Bassenthwaite, 8 miles, or The Lakes Distillery offering daily tasting and tours, also 8 miles. If you like walking, cycling, and climbing, you are surrounded by some amazing scenery and routes around Latrigg and Catbells, nearby you’ll find Skiddaw, Blencathra and Helvellyn to name a few.

Awesome for our group, to be so central & within walking distance to a lot of attractions. The house is spacious & plenty of bathrooms provided. The host left some icypoles for the kids in the hot weather we were lucky to have, quite thoughtful!
