If hiking with an amazing view is your hobby? Lake Windermere is a must, combine it with somewhere comfy and relaxing to stay in Ambleside.

 








Crow How Country Guest House 

Ambleside Lake Windermere

Our trip included a 2 night stay at Crow How, the location was ideal for us as it was very quiet, scenic and only a 10 minute walk or 3-5 minute car journey to Ambleside town centre. 

Everything appeared to be well kept and it was nicely furnished.

The bed and pillows were very comfortable and made for a good nights sleep, that combined with the very quiet surroundings. 

Breakfast offered a nice variety with cereals, fruit, yogurt, Granola and a number of hot options, we had the full English which was very good.  

All the staff were polite, friendly and efficient.

There was a communal lounge with nice decor and comfortable furnishings, there are also a number of seating areas / options outside to relax and enjoy the countryside and views. 

Our activities included walking up to Stock Ghyll Force.

We started from the Crow How and made our way to the Salutation Hotel in Ambleside which is opposite the lane that leads you up, signposted Waterfalls. 

The walk takes you up through the woods where you can view all of the waterfalls, it’s reasonably steep in places and not the best terrain but easy enough. 

We followed this all the way up until we saw signposts to Wansfell Pike.

We then walked to the top of the peak following the very obvious and well trodden track.

It’s a very scenic, but a challenging route, there are easier options, but this is the most direct route.

Once you reach the top though it’s well worth it, the views are incredible.

Stirling Castle and the William Wallace Monument, the best start to our Scottish Castle Tour

STIRLING CASTLE AND THE WILLIAM WALLACE MONUMENT First stop on our Scottish 4 day Castle Tour (by car) Stirling Castle seemed familiar to me, mainly, because it reminded me of Edinburgh Castle, a very impressive position perched atop its intrusive crag, well preserved also, we really enjoyed our visit with lots of different areas to see and explore. The views are stunning and stretch as far as the eye can see in all directions, the location of the castle was no accident. You can see Bridgehaugh, right next to Stirling Old Bridge which was the site of the battle of Stirling Bridge where in 1297 William Wallace defeated an English army.  With its place in history, we had to visit on our trip. Whilst in Stirling, we ignorantly stumbled across the William Wallace Monument, due to its unique shape, design and significance we found it to be another highlight of the trip. It’s a must, it’s quite daunting when you climb to the top and realise how high up you are. The views are very impress...

Thinking about Lostwithiel Cornwall? Check out our best 10 attractions including Spectacular Beaches with photographs.

         Location, Location, Location   This visit to Cornwall was a business trip, so we chose The Fowey Valley Hotel in Lostwithiel due to its ideal location for us, although Lostwithiel is a small town it’s location is well positioned if you plan on visiting the local scenic quaint harbours and beaches.  The Fowey Valley is a very reasonably priced hotel with good facilities, and comfortable furnishings, the food was very good, both the evening meal and breakfast with a good selection.                              We found the staff very efficient friendly and accommodating. There is plenty of free parking on site, but make sure you remember to register your car at reception to avoid fines.  We visited the following places before we ran out of time. - Looe, 26 minute drive - Polkerris, 15 minute drive ( a lovely place to enjoy a warm evening either in the Rashleigh Arms...
