Fancy a change from the fells? 🍂 We’re putting together some ideas of things to see and do all within (give or take!) 30 minutes from our cottages which involve a more gentle pace, for the days you don’t want to tick off a Wainwright.
➡️A scenic drive along Ullswater takes you to the charming market town of Penrith. Spend the day browsing independent shops, discovering fabulous delis, enjoying cosy cafés and soaking up the local events and attractions.
We’d always recommend a visit to Penrith from our Elm How and Cruck Barn Cottages. 🤎
📍We’ve tagged some of our favourites places but there are lots more, let us know yours.
