Drinks & Nightlife
It's a 30 min drive, but it is worth a visit. Clearly I am biast, since my family run it, but this is a great pub to sit and have lunch in while looking out over Lake Ullswater. Lots of nice walks around (The Ullswater way passes right through) and my brother John set up a Brewery here and the beer is served on site.
