Additional Information

This traditional semi-detached 19th century holiday lets cottage is situated in a quiet, rural position with views of the Lake District fells and Langdale Pikes in the distance.  The cottage is approached down a private drive, a fields distance from the road, making it secluded and quiet and yet it is only 1 1/2 miles north of the mediaeval market town of Kendal, known as the GATEWAY TO THE LAKE DISTRICT. The cottage is on the edge of the Lake District National Park which makes it  ideally situated for exploring Windermere (8 miles),  Ambleside (12 miles) and the rest of the central Lake District. A trip up the scenic A6 takes you to the northern access to the Lakes - Pooley Bridge for the northern end of Ullswater or onto Keswick for Derwentwater and Borrowdale.

 

The valleys of Longsleddale and Kentmere are only 4 miles away and they offer dramatic scenery, good walking and birdwatching - buzzards are often seen circling the hills opposite the cottage.

Ten miles east brings you to the book town of Sedbergh and the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

Local Information

Greenbank 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, Bowness, Grasmere, Ullswater and Rydal Water,  to name but a few) and also the Yorkshire Dales. 

Kendal has a good variety of attractions such as The Brewery Arts Centre, which has a good programme of entertainment - films, concerts and exhibitions and The Abbot Hall Art Gallery which contains paintings and sculptures including landscapes by Turner and Ruskin. Kendal Museum and the Museum of Lakeland Life are also well worth visiting. The ruins of Kendal Castle overlook the town.

 

Kendal is the main shopping centre for South Lakeland with a good variety of shops, restaurants and supermarkets (Morrisons, Asda, Booths, M&S, Iceland).  On the far side of Kendal is an out of town shopping centre called K Village -  it is situated on the southern edge of Kendal Town Centre on the banks of the River Kent, which meanders through Kendal on its way to Morecambe Bay. Just look for the brown tourist signs for K Village to be found around Kendal.

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

The nearby market town of Kendal, known as the Gateway to the Lakes is famous for its Kendal Mint Cake.

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.
