Walks
There a multiplicity of walks and runs from the house and within a short travelling distance
​
Please always carry a map and compass - and know how to use them!
​
All of these walks will be on the Ordnance Survey map application, which is also very useful when out walking, but please carry spare batteries and also a torch if any potential of walking in the dark
​
The best published guides are Mark Richards Fellranger series or Wainright's originals of course...
​
There are many guides to walks in the lakes, but Andrew Locking's is one of the best online : https://www.andrewswalks.co.uk/ but see also the Haroldstreet website for gpx files
