"The fleeting hour of life of those who love the hills is quickly spent, but the hills are eternal [...] Always there will be the lonely ridge, the dancing beck, the silent forest; always there will be the exhilaration of the summits. These are for the seeking, and those who seek and find… will be blessed both in mind and body."
— Alfred Wainwright

location
Tucked in the Northern corner of the Lake district, The cottage is just a 15-minute drive to Bassenthwaite Lake and steps away from an expanse of countryside to explore.
Arguably the most beautiful corner in the lakes…

eat & drink
Ramble & Fell is fortunate enough to be surrounded by some of the most beautiful eating and drinking spots. So whether you're warming the soul with a jar of Loweswater Gold by the toasty fireplace in The Kirkstile Inn, sampling some of the best cumbrian coffee from The Moon & Sixpence or feasting on a well deserved post hike lunch on the impressive Lingholm Estate.

site seeing
Find yourself rambling mountains by-day, exploring the endless beauty the Lake District has to offer or if you’re looking for activities closer to sea-level, there are a variety of lake-side wonders we’ll recommend upon booking. As well as our favourite recommendations for cosy pub lunches, local restaurants and day-trips we’ll send you a list of our favourite walks and hidden-gems within the lakes. Our favourite sea-side strolls can be found just minutes by car, hot-chocolate flasks deemed necessary whilst watching sunsets over the Soleway Firth towards Scotland.

fell walking
There is nothing quite like strapping on your boots, packing your lunch and heading out for an adventure through the fells. And although it may be called The Lake District, this world heritage site is also hosted to some of the most spectacular fells & mountains in the UK, including Scafell Pike, the highest mountain in England.
Plus, there is no better way to view the lakes than looking down with the birds!

mountain biking & rock climbing
The Lakes is England’s adventure playground, with a seemingly inexhaustible list of experiences. One moment you could be riding through the trees on a mountain bike in Whinlatter Forest, the next you’re on an adrenaline rush climbing the Via Feratta high ropes at Honister Slate Mine.
