Things to do on site and in the Penrith area
Walkers are absolutely pampered, with tempting trails all around. Walk the valley floor in either direction, explore the fells, or take a brisk 20 minute walk to the pub (after all, you've earnt it).
You'll find a path for curious feet to explore between Howtown and Patterdale, or you can head to Glenridding and board one of the famous Ullswater Steamers.
This is a good base for climbing Helvellyn and taking a good stab at Striding Edge.
