As
well as being at the heart of an area of outstanding
natural beauty within the National Park, with walks
in almost every direction from the hotel, there are
many other attractions in the local area.
For
example, red squirrels regularly visit our garden and
Roe Deer are seen in the local woods, as well as Peregrine
falcons, Buzzards and Ravens in the local area, Ospreys
nest each year at Bassenthwaite and a Golden Eagle at
Haweswater. Further afield, St Bees headland is famous
for its breeding puffins and guillemots.
You
could take the steamer around Derwent Water, or sail
or canoe at both Bassenthwaite and Derwent Water. There
is trout fishing at Watendlath; the forest park at Whinlatter
to explore or the Cumbrian Myths and Legends experience
at Rheged.
Keswick
itself, is a bustling market town and boasts a wide
range of restaurants. There is an excellent selection
of plays and concerts at Keswick's modern 'Theatre by
the Lake'. There is also an excellent bowls club and
several fine golf courses in the area.
We
have many groups of families and friends (for example:
walkers, painters, golfers, bowlers - as well as those
who just want to relax) who return to The Heights year
after year.
