Approx 1/2 hour drive away, close to Kendal, this is a small holding that currently has a family of 19 alpacas. Jane and Paul are friendly and informative hosts who clearly love their alpacas. Visitors can enjoy a pre- arranged meet and greet or join an alpaca friend on a fabulous walk in one of the most beautiful locations on the edge of the Lake District National Park. Suitable for adults and children of aged 6 and above, this is a great way to spend a morning. The alpacas are quirky, friendly and simply adorable. My only complaint is that I couldn't take them home with me!

Approximately 10 minutes drive away, The Ingleton Waterfalls Trail is well worth a visit and although you do have to pay an entrance fee, it is worth it as the scenery is stunning. It is described as a strenuous walk with a large number of steps along the full route so it’s not suitable for wheelchairs and pushchairs. However, the trail does follow a well defined footpath and I have found that it is quite manageable as long as you don’t try to race round! Due to cases of sheep worrying on the trail, they ask that dogs are kept on a lead when crossing farmland and near livestock.

The Forest / Trough of Bowland is a beautiful region and Gisburn Forest is a great starting point for stunning views over the Bowland Fells and Stocks Reservoir.
It's the perfect spot for wildlife watching or to find peace and tranquillity amongst the woodland glades.

It's approx. 40 minutes drive from the cottage to reach the reservoir parking area (from where most of the walking routes begin), with dramatic scenery along the way. Look out for the Great Stone of Fourstones as you head out of Bentham through the moorlands of Tatham Fells

The Great Stone of Fourstones, or the "Big Stone" as it is known locally, is a glacial deposit on the moorlands of Tatham Fells, situated near Bentham in the District of Craven, and 10 metres from the county border with Lancashire.
The name suggests that there were once four stones, but now there is only one. The other three were possibly broken up for scythe sharpening stones, or building stone, centuries ago. Large stones such as this were useful as boundary markers in the open countryside, and this one was used as a boundary marker for the Lancashire-Yorkshire boundary between Tatham and Bentham parishes.
A local myth tells of how the stone was dropped by the devil, on his way to build Devil's Bridge at nearby Kirkby Lonsdale. The stone has 15 steps carved into the side of it to allow access to the top. It is not known when they were carved, but they are well worn from years of use.

A lovely 40 minutes drive through the Yorkshire Dales will take you to Malham Cove - a huge curving amphitheatre shaped cliff formation of limestone rock.
The vertical face of the cliff is about 260 feet high. The top of the cove is a large area of deeply eroded limestone pavement, of a strange pattern rarely seen in England. The majesty of Malham Cove looks out over the Village of Malham and has been attracting visitors for centuries.
Harry Potter fans may be interested to know that in the "Deathly Hallows" film, Harry & Hermione set up camp in a tent on the Limestone Pavement at the top of Malham Cove, and scenes from the film feature views across Malhamdale including the view to Cawden and down to Malham Village and Kirkby Malham.

Pen-y-ghent is the lowest of Yorkshire's Three Peaks at 2,277 feet, the other two being Ingleborough and Whernside. The southern 'nose' of the hill is the route usually taken by those attempting the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge, as the walk is usually (but not exclusively) done in an anti-clockwise direction starting and finishing in Horton in Ribblesdale.
However, you don't have to attempt them all at once and each mountain has its own character with great opportunities for stunning views whichever you choose. I find Pen-y-ghent a relatively steady and accessible climb, although the short but steep ascent of the southern "nose,' is a little challenging!

Whernside is the highest of the Yorkshire Three Peaks. It is the highest point in the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire and the historic West Riding of Yorkshire with the summit lying on the county boundary with Cumbria.
Whilst it is the highest of the three peaks, in shape Whernside forms a long ridge so the ascent and descent is relatively gentle. I think Whernside is my favourite of the three but feel free to disagree! :-)

Ingleborough is the second highest of the three peaks. There are several popular hillwalking routes to its summit. The most frequently used starting point is probably the village of Ingleton, about 4 miles (6 km) to the southwest. The hill may also be climbed from Horton in Ribblesdale 6 miles (10 km) to the east, following a route crossing extensive areas of limestone pavement in the region of Sulber Nick.
There is also a route from Clapham that follows the Ingleborough Estate nature trail, before passing the Craven Fault, the showcave of Ingleborough Cave, the ravine of Trow Gill and the pothole of Gaping Gill.[7] It then crosses a marshy area and climbs up to the shoulder of Little Ingleborough before following the ridge to the summit.
This is my favourite route up Ingleborough, with some lovely contrasts of scenery in the nature trail through to the bleaker but equally impressive views across the marshland.
The summit is a broad plateau half a mile in circumference which provides breathtaking panoramic views. It's an area of considerable historic interest on which can be found the remains of a Celtic Iron Age fort thought to be built by the Brigantes, the largest amalgamation of tribes in Iron Age Britain.
I have to admit that I find this the most challenging of the three peaks as the final ascent is quite steep. However, the views and historic points of interest make it well worth it!

Situated about 15 minutes drive away in Clapham, the Ingleborough Estate Nature Trail is a 1.3 mile walk that is popular with people of all ages. The walk passes a sprawling man made lake, heading up through a wooded valley to the open dale of the imposing entrance to Ingleborough Cave. Allow a minimum of half an hour for this walk along a gravel path, slightly uneven here and there and with some uphill gradients (10° max.).
There is a nominal entrance fee per person to help upkeep the paths, railings etc. but it is well worth it as it's a very well maintained route with some lovely scenery along the way. It's a great spot to visit if you are looking for a more gentle walk but it's also a very pretty starting point if you are tackling the peak of Ingleborough.

Approx. 45 minutes drive away, this is a hill in the southern part of the Lake District which offers wonderful views over Lake Windermere towards the Lakeland Fells. You can simply climb to the top - quite a steep walk up but not too long and well worth it as the views are breathtaking, or there is a longer (approx. 4 miles) circular route well signposted from the Gummer's How carpark. There's also the added bonus of being able to see the highland cattle grazing at the foot of the hill too.

At the Michelin starred HRiSHi, Hrishikesh Desai combines great Lake District produce and classic methods to deliver unbelievable textures and flavours – modern British cuisine with a twist.
The laid-back Gilpin Spice has an open kitchen serving tapas-style pan-Asian dishes inspired by countries along the spice trail – spanning the Philippines, the Indian sub-continent, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Japan and China.
Approximately 50 minutes drive from the cottage. The Old Stamp House Restaurant, at the heart of the Lake District village of Ambleside, is housed in the former office of William Wordsworth, who was the Westmorland Distributor of Stamps for a time.
This intimate 28 cover restaurant run by brothers Ryan (head chef) and Craig (restaurant manager) Blackburn, offers a unique glimpse into the food and cultural heritage of Cumbria.
Ryan’s food not only celebrates his surroundings it celebrates the farmers who rear the animals he uses, the fishermen who land his fish and seafood and the artisan producers who craft nurture his ingredients.
And unsurprisingly this clever innovation and celebration has brought a host of plaudits, including the Cumbria Life Restaurant of the Year and the Lancashire Life Dining Experience of the Year leading to them securing the ultimate recognition, their first Michelin star in October 2019.
The restaurant provides a relaxed setting in which to enjoy incredible food. Ryan is a genius and I enjoyed my meal so much I nearly cried (!).
