I reckon Ambleside is a great place. Surrounded by Lake Windermere and some quality mountains, easy access to some of the best parts of the Lakes. One of the walking advantages is that you can walk from the door of your chosen accomodation into some of the best lakeland scenery. My favourite walk is the Fairfield horseshoe which I start from Rydal mount but can easily be done in reverse from Ambleside itself. The route follows the road past the Church at Rydal Mount and heads for Nab Sca. This has both good and bad points. To start with the good, you get a lot of height quickly and at the top of Nab Sca you get great views of Conniston and the Langdale Fells, the downside is that it hurts. Stick with it though it ... read more

I write this blog from my hotel just outside of Edinburgh, Scotland, my last stop on an extraordinary road trip through England and Scotland. I have just had the pleasure of spending the last three days in and around Lake Windermere and the Hilthwaite Hotel. A huge thanks must go out to my brother, Warrick and Mr. And Mrs. S, owners of the Hotel that Felicia and I stayed at. My brother had worked at this rather exclusive little hotel close to Lake Windermere and befriended the owners, who in turn allowed me to stay at their hotel. But a little more about that later … Well I am gong to change this blog up a little as this area of the country is well worth every word. Now the Lake District in an amazing place, ... read more

This is a blog to show off something beautiful in England. I visited Reena in Manchester and one day we went to the Lake District. We walked around for several hours and sat at the lake for a few more. Caught a train back to Manchester in the evening. One thing that Manchester definitely has over London is that there are lots of beautiful places only an hour or twos train journey away. London... takes one hour just to get to the M25. I really hope I've spelt Windamere correctly... it just looks wrong :( 15/09/2003 Note: I did spell Windermere incorrectly... updated now :)... read more
