However, there is a bus that runs hourly through the village travelling all the way through the Lake District via Windermere and Ambleside, right up to Keswick in the north. Or you could take the bus to the market town of Kendal (6 miles) for shopping and culture. You can also catch a train from Kendal for more site seeing. You can walk from the cottage door up the hill of Heversham Head for stunning views of the Lakeland fells and estuary. Alternatively, a 10 minute car journey will get you to the coastline at Arnside for walks along the estuary or up the Knott for the most outstanding views. For hardened walkers check out the Kentmere Round, a strenuous 12 mile mountainous horseshoe walk that links with High Street, the old Roman route that passes over the top of the mountains from North to South Cumbria. We will be happy to offer walk suggestions to you, whatever the make up of your group.
