Other local attractions include Mullthwaite Green riding centre at the top of the road for hacks,beach rides or lessons. If you fancy a larger horse perhaps try the empowering Cumbrian Heavy Horses, where you can trek over the hills on one of those large, magnificent creatures or again a beach ride on Silecroft beach. Alternatively for a gentler pace -how about a leisurely walk up Black Combe to capture the spectacular views of the western Lakes coastline aswell as on a good day IOM, Wales and Scotland.
A 22 minute drive finds you at Waste Water with its impressive screes or in the other direction 30-minute drive finds you at the impressive Coniston Water or a little further on and you are at the water’s edge of Lake Windermere.

A bit of History would be the impressive Muncaster Castle which entertains guests with mesmerizing "birds of prey" displays and gorgeous garden walks. However, you enjoy spending your days holidaying you’ll find something to entertain everyone - from local restaurants, museums, animal parks, aquarium, stately homes, through to paddle boarding, open water swimming in the lakes or sea, cycling, climbing, or walking, and all this is set against some of the most stunning ,unspoiled,undiscovered National Park scenery known as the Lake District and with the added benefit of a safe sandy beach.

Loved the cottage and location, really felt like a home. Silecroft is a hidden gem, cottage is 10 minutes walk from the beach. Perfect base for long walks. Only downside is no shop and pub was closed but Haverigg and Millom only a short drive away, so don't let that out you off.

A beautiful old cottage with all the modern comforts. Made extra cosy with log burners in the kitchen and front room. Off street parking a boon in a small village with small roads. A good base to reach several popular spots in the Lake District and also north up the coast.
