Holiday Accommodation
Lake District and Yorkshire Dales
Local Area
The lodge is less than 30 minutes drive away from Windermere, in
the heart of the Lake
District, and a short drive away from the beautiful Yorkshire
Dales. Both of these places offer a wealth of outdoor activities.
In the other direction, again just a short distance from the lodge, are the
picturesque Lune
Valley and the Forest of Bowland, which are areas of outstanding
natural beauty.
Other areas of outstanding natural beauty, practically on the door step of the
lodge are Silverdale and Arnside. The Leighton Moss RSPB Reserve at Silverdale has nature trails
and bird hides, as well as a program of events throughout the year.
Nearby is the town of Carnforth, made famous by the film
“Brief Encounter”, the historic city of Lancaster, and
the attractions of Morecambe Bay. A little further away is
Blackpool with its famous illuminations.
Leisure Activities
There are many excellent walks and cycle ways in
the immediate area around the lodge. Also, its location between the Lake District
and Yorkshire Dales National Parks, as well its location near the coast, make it an
ideal place from which to enjoy a wide variety of routes, for all abilities, in a
very varied landscape.
All sorts of water sports are available in the surrounding
countryside. Non-motorised activities such as canoeing and rowing are
available on the lake within the village itself and fishing is also available nearby.
Within a short drive from the lodge are many golf courses.
Silverdale, Morecambe, Heysham, Bentham and Lancaster, to name just a few.
Shopping
There are two supermarkets and a varied selection of town centre shops in nearby Carnforth.
