Activities
Thwaite Howe provides an excellent centre from which to explore the
whole of the Lake District, any part of which is easily accessible by
car in the day. Indeed the attractive market towns of Keswick and
Cockermouth are just three and nine miles away respectively. Ambleside
in the heart of Lakeland and Penrith (where access is gained to the M6
motorway, junction 40) are both about half and hour's drive from the
Hotel. For the walker, Skiddaw, Helvellyn and Blencathra are all nearby.
Thornthwaite Forest lies immediately behind the house, so guests will
find forest trails and walks nearby, where a wide variety of birds and
other wildlife, including deer, can be seen. Red Squirrels invite
themselves to dinner from the bird tables on most days, along with the
woodpeckers, nuthatches, goldcrest and numerous other bird species.
Activities within easy reach of the house include bird watching, pony
trekking, sailing and boating: Bassenthwaite Lake is just a mile away.
Golf enthusiasts are welcomed at Keswick and Penrith Golf Clubs, and
there are many opportunities for fishermen in the area. The Lake
District Osprey project is just a couple of miles away too. |
