What is there to do?
The park itself houses water sports on the lake (prices not included), fly fishing and a play park for children.
Ther are several nature reserves in the area with the RSPB Hodbarrow Nature Reserve just a 5 minute walk. Then there's South Walney Nature Reserve at Barrow-in-Furnace where at high tide seals can be seen.Also at Barrow is Sandscale Haws Nature Reserve, a national trust site with a small visitors centre and the Swinside Stone circle is worth a visit if you're out for a ramble.
A 15 minute drive to one of our personal favourite beaches at Silecroft. Further along the coast are many more like The unique village of Ulverston is just a 40 minute drive with lots of lovely places to eat (we suggest trying Naaz, an Indian cuisine). Lake Coniston is a 50 minute drive and Lake Windermere just over an hour or if you prefer a quieter lake then Wast Water is only 50 minutes from the park. If you like trains and the railway Ravenglass is a great place to go with only a 30 minute drive, a great pub we recommend; The Ratty Arms and a small gauge steam railway, also Millom has a train station going from Preston to Carlisle via Whitehaven; this, we find, is a lovely train ride with Carlisle being a great place to shop and Whitehaven having a great harbour for crabbing and also several streets of shops both unique and chain. Barrow is a 50 minute drive and a fantastic place to go for shopping, it has its own market and theatre which is worth checking out. If you just enjoy a ride out or looking at breath taking mountainous views there is The Hardknott Pass or The Wrynose Pass, both of which are beautiful, or if you're feeling more energetic try climbing the Scafell Pike which is less than an hours drive away.
Where are some great places to eat?
Millom has a wide selection of different cuisines; Indian, Chinese, Fish and Chips etc.
We also recommend Naaz at Ulverston and The Ratty Arms at Ravenglass, as previously mentioned.
These are only a few suggestions and there will be many more leaflets and recommendations in the Lodge upon your stay.
