  1. A Stay In The Lake District #5

    Friar’s Crag & Strandshag Bay.

    After our clockwise boat trip around Derwentwater, we had a break for lunch at Treeby’s Café on Lake Road. It’s a lovely eating place sited on the ground floor beneath the Treeby and Bolton Gallery, accessible either through the gallery or via the entrance on Lake Road.

    We then returned to the lakeside to take a look at Friar’s Crag, a small promontory overlooking the lake and Strandshag Bay and giving distant views of the jaws of Borrowdale.

  6. Furness Abbey Medieval Fair

    On Saturday, September 5, 2026, The Mereland Chronicles will be featured at the Furness Abbey Medieval Fair in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria - right in the neighbourhood that inspired the novel’s setting.

  7. This really easy #LakeDistrict walk on the Uldale Fells provides some great views including the Solway Firth & the Scottish hills beyond & a view of Skiddaw few see, with the benefit of escaping the crowds. See happyhiker.co.uk/MyWalks/LakeD

    More Lake District walks at happyhiker.co.uk/MyWalks/LakeD

  8. Also extremely accurate in the fact that the lake at Coniston is actually called Coniston Water. #lakedistrict

  9. Another #LakeDistrict dog rescue by MRT. This time it's Kendal MRT who stretchered an injured dog (and their uninjured owner😃) off the fell.

  10. This #LakeDistrict walk on Gowbarrow Fell provides fabulous views along Ullswater, without a massive amount of climbing. Excellent views of Blencathra (Saddleback) & the famous Sharp Edge. Ends with impressive waterfall Aira Force plus minor falls. See happyhiker.co.uk/MyWalks/LakeD

  11. A dog missing for nearly three weeks, has been rescued in the #LakeDistrict.

    Teddy went missing on the 2nd August after disappearing on Helvellyn.

    On Friday (21st August) volunteers were out searching for him, when they heard Teddy barking from Dry Gill.

  12. Lake District: A Family Road Trip Through Ullswater, Kirkstone Pass & Ambleside

    The Lake District National Park is, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful parts of Northern England. I had already visited the area once with friends, so this time, taking my family there was almost a must. One of the advantages of visiting the same place more than once is that it never really feels like the same place. Different weather, different seasons and different routes can completely change the experience. Besides, there were still quite a few places I had not explored during my […]

  13. The #LakeDistrict hill Whitbarrow (which means white hill) is a limestone plateau which looks like an escapee from the Yorkshire Dales. It is relatively little known and a way of escaping the crowded main fells & sometimes bad weather. See happyhiker.co.uk/MyWalks/LakeD

  14. For you #LakeDistrict Wainwright conquerers, a pretty cool way of recording your progress in an easy, ornamental display on this Wainwright Fells 'Completed' Map. Put a red peg in as you complete each one. Make a good birthday/Christmas present maybe. See etsy.com/uk/listing/4411000359

  15. From the blog: We have always tended to visit the Lake District at Easter or during the summer. This was our first visit in October and the autumn colors did not disappoint. #lakedistrict #travel

  16. The Old Dungeon Ghyll Hotel at Great Langdale now have a live streaming #LakeDistrict #webcam here odg.co.uk/webcam looking south over their car park towards Side Pike and Pike of Blisco.

    We've added it to our webcam page which you can find here walklakes.co.uk/webcams.html

  17. This #LakeDistrict walk follows a ridge to visit ‘The Dodds’: Stybarrow Dodd, Watson’s Dodd and Great Dodd. Also Clough Head, looking directly at Blencathra, across the valley. There is no climbing/scrambling or difficult terrain on this walk. See happyhiker.co.uk/MyWalks/LakeD

  18. Scafell Pike in the #LakeDistrict and the highest peak in England is on most hikers’ bucket lists. This route from Wasdale Head is probably the shortest. Fabulous views. Please park responsibly & be properly equipped. Weather can change quickly! See happyhiker.co.uk/MyWalks/LakeD

  19. From the blog: The Lake District National Park has been one of my happy places for a good number of years, here are some highlights from my recent visit. #lakedistrict #travel

  20. This easy walk on the quiet edge of the #LakeDistrict provides some great views including the Solway Firth & the Scottish hills beyond & a lesser seen view of Skiddaw. There is an ancient extensive earthwork to examine and an unusual statue. See happyhiker.co.uk/MyWalks/LakeD

  21. A painting of the barn from my weekend in the Furness peninsula. A 2 hour painting just before it got too dark to paint. Oil on gesso panel, 20 x 25 cm.

  22. A painting of the farm where I was staying over the weekend in the Furness peninsula, in Askam-In-Furness overlooking the Duddon Estuary .oil on canvas panel 21 x 29.5 cm.

  23. Maybe a trip to the #LakeDistrict next? Joanna E. Taylor & Ian N. Gregory present this innovative, interdisciplinary study bringing together #LiteraryStudies on #Literature & #History of the Lake District 1622-1900, with tools from geography & #digitalhumanities

  24. Norman has got to be around five times as old as the boy which is a heady blast of chronological angst for long term fans of the Fatboy (and his many guises)
