Out & About - "How close are your lakes to The Lakes?"

As more families appear to becoming more outdoor orientated the question above has been asked on quite a few occasions.

To help here are some photos of areas in the Lake District you can visit in a short time.

Aira Force & Gowbarrow Fell overlooking Lake Ullswater is a 45 minute leisurely drive away & close to Penrith for a spot of shopping too.

Travel for just over a hour & this will get you to Keswick.  The walk over Walla Crag to Ashness Bridge & back along the shore of the lake is  enjoyable if you want a good half day out with plenty of fresh air. Choice of plenty good food can be enjoyed afterwards once back in the town.

Scottish Borders - don't forget you are only a stones throw from more scenic routes to the North too.
