‘Honey-pot’ tourist attractions only a stones throw away; High Dam, Stott Park Bobbin Mill, the Quay at Lakeside with the Lakes Aquarium, Windermere Lake Cruises and the Steam Train, all within walking distance, (half a mile).
A plethora of Lake District tourist attractions a little further a-field; Fell Foot, Hill Top, the home of Beatrix Potter and Hawkshead, Ambleside, Levens Hall and Sizergh Castle to name but a few.
