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.

This is our third time staying in this beautiful cottage that is fully equipped with everything you need to enjoy your holiday, the cottage is spotless and within distance walking to the beautiful Silecroft beach .Spacious beautiful garden equipped with plenty of garden furniture to enjoy fun family time, my only recommendation would be more lighting so you can enjoy the evening time as well.A bit of advice would be to not park your car on the curb as this is frowned upon by the locals other than that I would highly recommend and perfect for golfers as well as course is within walking distance.

My family and I had a wonderful stay at the cottage to celebrate my wife’s birthday. It was in a great location and the weather being so good we felt lucky to have a beach 5 minutes up the road. The cottage itself was immaculate, spotless and spacious. Being on the coast , most of our activities, days out were about 40mins drive on average but well worth it. The lakes were spectacular naturally but also the restaurants were first class ( the boardwalk bar and grill at Windermere highly recommended. Also the king William at Millom very good and worth a visit. As a keen golfer, I enjoyed a round at Carus Green and the local course at Sileford, which is run by volunteers. Again, superb. We would highly recommend the cottage to anyone visiting the area. Thanks again 👌👌😍👍
