Created on November 15, 2011 using FlipShare. We have recently returned from a holiday in Keswick,Cumbria and we had a great time. If you like outdoor activies such as walking, sailing, cycling, hill climbing etc this is the place for you. However, if you would rather relax, there are plenty of cafe's, bars and restaurant to unwind in. Keswick is a dog friendly place, we could take Ralph our Cocker Spaniel into most pub restaurants and lots of shops. Keswick also has a great park for the kids, with crazy golf and tennis courts etc. It's a great all round holiday destination
The period between Christmas and New Year is known in the hotel trade as Twixmas; that short period of downtime between the two major celebrations. Its the perfect time to hit the UK holiday hot spots as there are great deals for short breaks, dinner inclusive packages, and much more on offer. Its also a good time of year to sneak into a popular Lake District Hotel that gets been booked up for New Year months in advance - and grab a great Winter Saver deal at the same time. You can then explore the Lake District in relative peace whilst others wait for New Year.

The first roads of which we have any clear knowledge were constructed by the Roman armies in the years after the invasion of northern England in AD7879. The Romans were intent on conquering the whole of Britain, but eventually had to settle for defending a north¬ern border which ran from the Solway to the mouth of the Tyne (along the Stanegate, and subsequently Hadrian's Wall). The frontier was continued down the coast to Moresby (near Whitehaven) as a line of forts linked and backed up by roads. The Romans were evidently little interested in the Lake District itself, as only three or four roads went through the fells.
Weekend breaks in the Lake District
Their main road south led from Carlisle to Brougham, and then on through the Lune Gorge.
This route runs along the very eastern edge of the Lakeland fells and its principal fascination is that so many later routes have followed in its footsteps though none has followed it precisely. From Brougham its course cannot now be seen for the first three miles (5 km), but it can then be followed as 'The Street' for over five miles (8 km) towards Crosby Ravensworth. It turns to pass through the British settlement at Ewe Close, and climbs over Coalpit Hill before making a steady descent towards Tebay and the fort at Low Borrow Bridge in the Lune Gorge. From here there was a branch to Watercrook (Kendal), whilst the main road continued southwards on the east bank of the River Lune.
Of the Roman roads through the Lake District the most important was probably the route from Watercrook to Ravenglass, for it appears in the Antonine Itinerary, a list of the main post roads of the Empire compiled in Rome in the second or third century. The central section of this route over Wrynose and Hardknott Passes is well known, and easy to follow, but the precise course of most of the rest of the route has yet to be fixed. Starting from Watercrook it is not even certain where the road crossed the River Kent; it probably went via Staveley, and beyond here the best line yet found is parallel to the minor road running from Hill Farm, through Broadgate to Allen Knott.
The central section over the passes was described by Ian Richmond in 1949 and anyone wish¬ing to follow it should consult his classic paper. But at the western end of Hardknott Pass the road once again disappears into farmland, still over 8 miles (12.9km) from the port of Ravenglass. There are no Roman roads in Cumbria south of this route, which indicates how un¬important, strategically or economically, southern Lakeland was to the Romans.
The most famous Roman road in the Lakes is undoubtedly High Street, but its course is little known in precise detail, even in the central section where it is supposed to run at over 2000ft (610m) for 8 miles (12.9km). In truth there are only two or three obvious sections (for example between High Street summit and the Straits of Riggindale) and the whole route requires a new survey. In particular, its routes both south of the summit and north of Elder Beck are not known. It would certainly not have been an easy route, much of it above the tree line, and the Romans probably used it, but whether they actually built a road along the whole of this line is, at best, unproven. The recent detailed description of a parallel Roman road over Kirkstone Pass, only a short distance to the west, is a much more likely route for them to have chosen, involving only half the ascent, and having frequent water supplies for their animals (something which High Street lacks).
2 day weekend camping at fundy national park, before & during the 3rd geocaching event inside the park. Had a few hammocks setup at the group site #1-2 while we had a private site #293 in chignecto. Beautiful may long weekend. 166 people showed up for our event. Five new geocaches were published and the eager geocachers hit the trails. The reward this year was a special 60th anniversary of Fundy National Park, a non-trackable geocoin. The theme for the geocaches this year was "water", each cache brought geocachers to selected areas of the park which hilighted this theme. One example was the geocache "Fishy Facebook" where the nearby lake was the site of a new fishway which will allow the fish to travel between the lake & river system. Or "What's Up Doc?" where geocachers were guided down to the site of the many waterfalls that are located within the park. 105 geocachers started their day at 10am, but during the next few hours, another 61 had logged in. Many decided to take advantage of the weekend to book camping site and do the challenge over two days. Over twenty participants were able to log all five geocaches during the event duration. However, it was hard work as many returned with red faces and that look of exhaustion which turned into joy once they redeemed their passport for the geocoin. The conclusion of the event included prizes from Fundy Guild, The North Face (via The Trail Shop) and The Tides Restaurant. Parking (Parking Area) N 45° 35.488 W 064° 57.324 Upper ...

Surprisingly, little has been written about the effects of roads, canals and railways on landscapes despite the fact that communica¬tions are a vital component of landscape development. The prolific railway literature tends to concentrate on minute detail of the lines, engines, stations and rolling stock, but it usually says little about precisely why the lines were needed, and next to nothing about the effects which the lines had on the areas which they served; the canal literature is not dissimilar. But roads, and their effects on the land¬scape, have been almost totally ignored, despite (and probably because of) their commonplace nature.
Luxury Hotels Lake District
The various means of transport employed in and around the Lake District over the last 2,000 years have been a fundamental part of the overall economic, social and political development of the area, and therefore of its landscape as well.
For example the Roman roads were part of a military defensive system serving numerous forts; the con¬tinuing importance of these roads is reflected in how many of them are still in use today. More recently the turnpikes, canals and railways were built to allow easier movement of agricultural and industrial products to and between the rapidly growing towns, and the improved accessibility drastically altered both town and country. Transport routes themselves barely altered the landscape but because they were an integral part of the economic changes, many other features of the landscape were often significantly changed as a result of improvements in communications.
Thus, without building their roads the Romans would not have been able to defend this northwestern corner of their empire, the medieval towns would not have been able to trade and grow, from Elizabethan times wool would not have been able to reach and to be traded from the market at Kendal, and the first tourists would never have got anywhere near the Lakes. Without the canals the movement of heavy goods to and from Kendal in particular would not have been possible, and the consequent early development of towns, industry and mining would have been much delayed. And finally the railways, also built to carry coal and iron, were eventually important in opening up the Lakes to many more tourists, bringing them quickly and cheaply to Windermere, Coniston and Keswick.
But the Lake District does not easily lend itself to the building of lines of communication. The level of economic (and sometimes political) demand for transport determines whether or not lines of communica¬tion are built, but the landscape then imposes constraints on their routes. And in mountainous terrain the choice of routes is especially difficult for canals and railways. In the Lake District the net result is that roads have always provided the backbone of communications; the canals are peripheral (none lying within the National Park), and the railways, although of great importance for a hundred years or so, barely penetrated into the area, and are now reduced to little more than a ring of lines around the Lakes.

This walk from Kentmere Church included Shipman Knott, Kentmere Pike, Harter Fell, Mardale Ill Bell, High Street, Rampsgill Head, High Raise (Martindale) and Kidsty Pike. I made my way back to Small Water via High Street and Mardale Ill Bell, this is where I did a wild camp. The weather was bad from 9:00pm all the way to 9:00am the following morning, well worth it though!
If you want to go to Lake District these days, there is nothing to worry about, since hotels here are offering big discounts. Looking for a budget hotel in Lake District is not difficult, and the rooms are upgraded with a lot of enhanced facilities.
Budget hotels usually bring to mind towering concrete blocks with identical rooms and corridors - chain hotels whereby each one is the same the world over! Not the case in the Lake District. We've found imposing country house style budget hotels in The Lake District with views over Waterhead Bay, free use of health spa and inclusive of hearty Lakeland breakfasts from 49.00 UK pounds per night for a double ensuite room!
If you are looking for a rural budget Lake District hotel for the family, The Ludwidge Arms Hotel situated in West Cumbria is an excellent choice, positioned by the river Irt, a nature lovers haven, where otters, herons and kingfishers can be spotted along the riverbank walk.
The river is famous for its' gin-clear water. The hotel is near to Scafell Pike, England's highest fell and close to family attractions such as the steam railway and The Sheep and Wool centre near Keswick, where the children can enjoy the experience of getting close to farm animals. The traditional Lakeland stone, family run hotel is comfortable, warm and welcoming, offering home cooked local food and real ales.
Ambleside is a charming, bustling village based in the heart of the Lakes, close to the quay at Waterhead, where you can get on one of the steamers that regularly depart for Lake cruises on Windermere.
The cruises last 40 minutes and allow you to get on and off to discover other villages and shores. One of the best budget hotels in The Lake District is Lake House, with its' wide-sweeping views over Waterhead Bay and Ambleside a two minute walk away where you can look at the many small art and gift shops, numerous eateries and tourist attractions. The rooms are all ensuite, spotlessly presented and stylish with many little unexpected extras not usually provided in budget hotels.

Although the low axle speeds were needed for the mines and iron working sites, the bobbin mills used narrow lightly built wheels, geared up to drive line shafting and high speed lathes. At Stott Park the mill was originally powered in the late 1830s by a 32ft (10m) diameter wheel which was later replaced by turbines, a steam engine and finally electric motors. The main reservoir of water for the mill is nearby at High Dam, a popular picnic area with its old charcoal coppices and larch trees. Few visitors realise that this attractive tarn is an industrial relic.
Hotels lake district
The manufacture of gunpowder made heavy demands on water power with complex systems of millraces. As described earlier, the gunpowder works consisted of many water mills where the ingredients were ground together, then processed.
Originally large, broad water¬wheels were used, but in the late nineteenth century locally manufac¬tured turbines were installed within the older masonry wheelpits. Gilkes of Kendal, famous turbine manufacturers for over a hundred years, is a legacy of the once thriving powered industries, which were concentrated in the River Kent catchment area. The remains of Gilkes turbines can be found at mines, quarries, bobbin mills, saw mills, gun¬powder works and other sites. In common with all rural areas, the Lake District had its scatter of corn mills, many with medieval origins. Although these mills were essential to the daily life, they were operated as smallscale rural trades rather than as 'industrial' sites. Nevertheless, within some villages,especially at the focal point for old trade routes, the old mill buildings may still survive as an attractive reminder of the former dependence on water power.
Extensive sheep farming in medieval times led to the establishment of an important woollen industry centred on Kendal, with the Kent, Sprint and Mint Rivers converging on this important market town. By the midfourteenth century the Lake District had almost 150 fulling mills where waterdriven wooden stocks pounded handwoven material with soft brown soaps to mat or felt the cloth. Before water power was used, men walked on the cloth in troughs, to felt it, hence the common name 'Walk Mill' for early woollen mills. Grasmere and Ambleside had a cluster of medieval fulling mills and names such as Stock Lane and Stock Bridge no doubt refer to this industry. At Hawkshead, Tenter Hill is a reference to the hillside where cloth was stretched on the tenterhooks, to dry in the sun.
The attractive view towards Coniston is essentially a landscape of industry. Almost hidden, there is evidence of copper mining, slate quarrying, mills for textiles and bobbins, an iron forge, a tannery, quays for water transport and a once busy railway terminus (Andrew Lowe) industrial revolution spread through northern England. In the Lake District it was a revolution in the scale of production rather than a power revolution steam engines were not introduced into the local woollen industry until the 1850s. The fulling mills, together with the domestic system, were superseded by the factory system for both spin¬ning and weaving woollens. Other textile mills for spinning cotton and flax were introduced after the 1770s, often on the sites of redundant fulling mills.
Such large mills required the dependable supply of water from the larger rivers to turn broad, powerful waterwheels connected to a network of line shafting for the spinning and weaving machinery. Characteristically, the wool ca rding or weaving mills were usually three storeys high, but the cotton spinning mills reached four or five storeys in typical Lancashire style with the regular rows of small paned windows. These were the tallest buildings in the Lake District, so dominant not just in physical terms, but also in relation to the local economic and social life.

Late sixteenth and seventeenth century Large Houses had two main storeys and often an attic and sometimes a basement as well. They were often of a plain rectangular plan shape but with a boldly projecting multi-storey porch. Many rooms were heated and this improvement in comfort was advertised by tall cylindrical stone chimney stacks, the simple northern counterpart to the highly decorated brick chimney stacks of southern England. Large mullioned and transomed windows graced the main elevations and lit rooms decorated with panelling and plasterwork. Most of these houses were one room deep, elongated or rambling, but a small handful were compact and two rooms deep.
With the late seventeenth and the early eighteenth century, traditional plans gave way to symmetrical layouts based on a front door located about the middle of a more or less stylish elevation. A group of houses in West Cumberland, represented by Moresby Hall, presented elaborately rusticated masonry elevations to visitors approaching the front door. More commonly, as at the Wordsworth House in Cockermouth, the rendered walling of the main elevation was picked out in stone dressings.
The Large Houses of the Lake District are charming and picturesque in appearance, but, apart from such ambitious houses as Levens Hall, Sizergh Castle or Askham Hall, they are not in the front ranks of the nation's vernacular architecture. The stone of the heart of the Lake District did not lend itself to architectural embellishment. Original window patterns have been lost in eighteenth and nineteenth century alterations. Impressive spaces have been cut up to make rooms more suitable for the life of the farmer and his family. Nevertheless the Large Houses are an important part of the vernacular architectural scene both in themselves and in the influence they had on design of smaller houses.
In the Lake District, the Small House of the yeoman or tenant farmers and their social equals emerges fully developed in plan and constructed of permanent materials about the middle of the seventeenth century. At the moment we know very little about their predecessors but the fully mature state of the seventeeth century plans suggests that a change of building material or construction method rather than a new departure in planning was indicated in the seventeenth century. The reasons for this housing revolution or Great Rebuilding are as obscure here as in the rest of the country though here, as elsewhere, accumulation of capital through advantageous economic conditions presumably was a prerequisite. It may be that social and assumed legal changes following the Union of the Crowns in 1603, and the confirmation of customary tenure with right of inheritance in 1625, led to circumstances in which such a Great Rebuilding could be contemplated and implemented after the days of the Civil War and Commonwealth.

So it’s about time to find out where afternoon tea originates from and how it compares to afternoon tea these days.
Afternoon tea is thought to have originated in England in the 1840’s. At that time, the different classes of people had a divergence of eating habits with the upper classes eating lunch at midday and dinner at 8pm or later. The lower classes ate lunch at about 11am and then a light supper at 7pm. Afternoon tea therefore filled the gap in between those two meals. It proved popular and soon spread throughout the British Empire.
This tradition became less popular as changes in social customs and working hours meant that people didn’t have time to stop for afternoon tea or simply took smaller snacks in the afternoon instead.
Tea was traditionally brewed as loose tea leaves in a teapot and served with milk and sugar.
This provided a welcome pick-me-up for the hard-working lower classes that needed the sugar and caffeine to get them through the day. A small sandwich or scone was often eaten too, especially by labourers. This was often prepared for them in the mornings before they headed off to work.
For the more privileged, afternoon tea included sandwiches with fillings such as cucumber, egg and cress, fish paste, ham or smoked salmon, as well as scones with jam and cream, cakes and pastries such as Battenberg, fruit cake or Victoria sponge.
There aren’t many better locations to take afternoon tea than the Lake District. The quintessential experience of afternoon tea in the Lake District can be enjoyed is various stunning Lake District Hotels throughout the county.
The relaxing atmosphere in Lake District hotels makes them the perfect place to enjoy afternoon tea. Choose from the cosy atmosphere of the lounges with their roaring fires where it is a wonderful spot to indulge in a luxury afternoon tea during the winter months. Or in the warmer months Lake District hotels with conservatory’s or gardens are a bright alternative with beautiful surroundings to look at whilst you are eating.
An attraction offers many different activities, experiences, educational and learning opportunities, laughs, entertainment and fun.
Animal attractions are the perfect draw for the whole family. Young and old can’t help to be excited by either seeing their favourite animal or animals they haven’t seen before. Animals are fun and can be extremely educational for children but adults too. Animal attractions offer have a wide variety of species some outdoor, some indoor with educational boards along the way. Often feeding times allow even more learning and talks.
A good attraction should offer indoor and outdoor activities as weather in the Lake District can be inclement at times to say the least! On top of main attraction such as an animal attraction, other outdoor activities are often offered such as sledges on rails, zip wire, Large and preschool climbing frames, swings, logged assault course area, Dyno cars, muddle bugs, roller racers and a large maze.
These are usually included within the entrance ticket price.
A choice of indoor play activities is just as important. Indoor soft play areas are great for bad weather occasions and usually cater for children between 0 right up to 12 years. The Lake District offers a number of farm animal attractions, one even lets visitors watch sheep milking which is quite different. Sheep milk is both nutritious and delicious, having a rich, bland, slightly sweet taste. It is much higher in total solids than either cows or goats milk and contains up to twice as many of the minerals like calcium, phosphorus and zinc and the all important B group Vitamins.
Attractions in the Lake District are often in stunning settings such as riverside locations. Taking a walk along the river or a short walk up a feel can be a welcome break for Grandparents or older children.
A Lake District attraction wouldn’t be complete without a tearoom. Again, perfect whatever the weather and with the Lake District having so much quality produce, good home cooked food is always available.
Mementos from a visit to animal attractions and Lake District attractions are high on many children’s agendas. Gift shops are often Aladdin’s caves for visitors of all ages. Some Lake District attractions even have arts and crafts galleries. These are perfect for mums and dads or grandparents to look around. Cumbria and the Lake District have some super artists along with many potters and jewellery makers. Such galleries and shops are great for picking up a special gift for someone or purely another memento of the visit.
So even though the Lake District is renowned for its walking, on the next family holiday, why not try a Lake District attraction.
Staying in hotels in Kendal puts visitors within what is famously known as the ‘Auld Grey Town’. Historically, Kendal has been one of the most important woollen textile locations in England having produced ‘Kendal Green and ‘Kendal Cottons’. It is also renowned for Kendal Mint Cake which is today still popular with locals and tourists who visit the Lake District. There are plenty of hotels in Kendal so you can choose to stay for a few days or a week and discover what this quaint town has to offer. Kendal Castle, Museum of Lakeland Life, Nobles Rest and Serpentine Woods are just some of the main attractions in Kendal. Being the gateway to the Lakes, Kendal is well served with public transport allowing you to venture further afield into the heart of the Lake District National Park.
Towns and Villages in the Lake District
Having explored the local area of Kendal, you’ll most certainly want to see the rest of the beautiful towns and villages in the Lake District during your stay.
Windermere is at the heart of the Lake District and is one of the most popular places to visit whilst staying in hotels in Kendal. Windermere has the natural largest lake in England at an impressive ten and a half miles long. In the village itself you’ll find shops, cafes, restaurants and about halfway down the eastern shore you’ll come across Bowness which also has many attractions, hotels and shops. Ambleside is at the head of Windermere and is a historic Victorian town with a wealth of beautiful gardens to explore and Grasmere, which is near to Ambleside is situated in a vale with captivating mountains all around. Each village in the Lake District has its own unique character and charm and this is what makes it the perfect holiday destination.
