Additional Information

Greenbank Lake District holiday cottage is situated on the boundary of the hamlet of Skelsmergh and has good access to both the south and north lakes (e.g. Lake Windermere, Rydal Water, Grasmere and Ullswater, to name but a few) and also the Yorkshire Dales.

The property is on the edge of The Lake District National Park, in the county of Cumbria. This is designated an area of outstanding beauty, one quarter being owned and protected by the National Trust.

Lake Windermere, which at 10 1/2 miles long is the largest of the 16 lakes, is a 15 minute drive away - take a steamer trip across the lake or have lunch and browse around the many shops in Bowness-on-Windermere. The village of Ambleside, just 5 miles further on from Windermere, is approximately the centre of the Lake District, with the Lakes radiating out in most directions.

Beatrix Potter who wrote and illustrated books for children lived near to Windermere and William Wordsworth the poet and writer lived in Grasmere.
