Round the tarn
Flat, muddy in places, and the best way to start any stay.
Things to do, from people who live here.
Our short list of walks, pubs and rainy-day plans, with how long each takes from the door.

Up to the ridge
A steady climb with a view of three lakes from the top. Take a flask.

Fire, local ale and a proper Sunday roast. Book on weekends.

10 min drive
The village bakery
Sourdough, sausage rolls and the best coffee for miles. Shut Mondays.
Rainy days
30 min drive
Slate mine tour
Hard hats, headtorches and an hour underground. Good for teenagers.

Wild swimming
The jetty by the Boathouse shelves gently. Cold all year, so brave all year.
Getting here
By car, the last 400 metres are a farm track: fine for any car, slow for all of them.
By train, we can pick you up from the station, 25 minutes away. Just ask when you book.
