    After touring Martindale we walked to the top of Hallin Fell which took around 30 minutes.

    The views from the top were great and there is an old stone cairn there.

    Well worth the walk if you are in this area.

    We visited parkfoot trekking as a group (3 families) with children from ages 3-12. Because we stumbled across it, we hadn’t actually booked (we will be more organised next time). The ladies that work there were so kind and managed to squeeze all the children in for a paddock ride. We really appreciated it and the kids were absolutely thrilled. Each child was put on a side appropriate sized pony with all the safety gear that they needed. We can’t wait to return for a longer pony trek up the fell. Thanks so much, ladies!

    This was my favourite place in the otherwise very touristy Pooley Bridge. A haven of peace.
    First they serve first class coffee and secondly you can browse the fantastic selection of books at your leisure. I ended up buying too many.

    We enjoyed a no frills, fun and invigorating boat trip, sailing ourselves (family of 5) across the vast expanse of Ullswater. No queueing necessary; buoyancy aids provided, relatively cheap (£40 for an hour; motor boat with front screen and small shelter - a must on a windy day) with clear instructions and boating tips. Not the most communicative of staff, but did the job and the experience really was one of the highlights of our week in the lakes. Thoroughly recommend!
