Things to Do

Once You're There

We’re excited to share a few of our favourite things to do. Some of which are still on our list but hopefully give a few different options!

Aira Force Waterfall

Experience Aira Force at its best as you head towards the thunderous roar of the waterfalls. Pass through woodland with lush green ferns and evergreen specimen conifers that tower over open glades. Then, emerge from the confines of the gorge to enjoy expansive views over Ullswater from the summit of Gowbarrow.

The cruises from Ullswater ‘Steamers’ connect to some of the most famous and iconic walking routes in the Lake District National Park, with views of Wordsworth's daffodils on the west shore in spring.

Walk to Easedale Tarn

One of our favourite walks in the Lakes where you can witness the views without the most strenuous climb. This is where Callum popped the question!


Easedale Tarn is a tarn in the centre of the English Lake District, about two miles west of the village of Grasmere. It lies in a hollow between Tarn Crag to the north and Blea Rigg to the south, about 910 feet or 280 metres above sea level.


If you don’t want to do the full circular route or the river crossing is a bit high to do it, just return on the path you went up.

See England's last working mine

A little bit of a hidden gem in the Lake District National Park is the mind-blowing Rydal Cave.

Originally an abandoned 19th-century quarry, it has since been preserved and is now open for the public to enjoy.


As well as Rydal Cave being your final destination, this scenic walk will take you on a stroll through the idyllic White Moss woods, next to Rydal Water, and finally, to the cave.


If you like finding things off the beaten track, you should also give Cathedral Cave a go!
