Ambleside 3 miles; Grasmere 3 miles.
Skelwith Bridge is located in the very heart of the Lake District at the foot of the Langdale Valley. Grasmere, Ambleside and Lake Windermere are all located within three miles of this picturesque hamlet. The small village of Elterwater with its English Lake District Inn is just a twenty minute walk passing Skelwith Force, a fifteen feet high waterfall where the combined waters of the River Brathay and Langdale Beck force a passage through the rocks. Once a centre for the slate quarrying industry, it consists of a cluster of stone buildings by a picturesque bridge spanning the River Brathay. Today, the Kirkstone Galleries in the hamlet are suppliers of the local blue-green slate and hand crafted articles can be purchased from the shop, workshops and ‘Chesters’ tea rooms by the River Rothay. The Skelwith Bridge Hotel and Talbot Pub, dating back to the 17th century sit in the centre of the hamlet. Nearby Grasmere is perhaps best known as the home of William Wordsworth, a place he once described as "The most loveliest spot that man hath found".

Previous visitors' comments about Carr Crag Pavilion:
The cottage itself was to a very high standard and the surrounding gardens were beautiful, very peaceful.
Miss McLachlan, Bracknell, April 2012
Fantastic feeling and surroundings, loved every second of being there and having everything in a 5 minute radius kept us busy. Will definitely go again!
Mr Mccartney, Sheffield, February 2012
Great location and really friendly hosts who made us feel very welcome. Great to have walks on the doorstep but also to have the freedom to use the garden in the snow. Lovely to have a place that was so dog and child friendly.
Mrs Mcdonald, Market Drayton, February 2012
Very centrally based for walking and canoeing. The owner was very pleasant and helpful.
