Places to Visit from your Farm Stay in the Lake District
When you book one of these farms to rent in Cumbria, you’ll have no trouble finding great places to explore nearby.
To the north, the market town of Keswick is a brilliant place for a day out. Found on the edge of Derwentwater, this town is known for its independent shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as popular attractions like the Derwent Pencil Museum and the scenic walk to Castlerigg Stone Circle.
On the other hand, Ambleside is another wonderful place to considering visiting. Located at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, it’s a great spot to enjoy a boat trip or a walk along the lake’s edge. We’d also recommend heading to Stock Ghyll Force, a beautiful waterfall just a short stroll from the town centre.
