Amazing food in this gastro pub. If you want to push the boat out, their chateaubriand steak to share is delicious.

Activities

Go Ape has a run of 7 zip wires which whizzes through the tree-tops. Expensive but worth a bit of a treat for the adrenaline rush. You can also hire normal or electric bikes to explore all the forestry commission tracks

Set on the West coast, it is a long drive, but several scenic routes can be taken. Well worth a visit for a full day out, if you have time. It is also close to Muncaster Castle.

Historic sites

Worth a visit if you're heading north to Keswick. This is worth stopping off to enjoy the spectacular views from the site. It has panoramic views and the mountains of Helvellyn and High Seat as a backdrop. It is also among the earliest British circles, raised in about 3000 BC during the Neolithic period.
