We can highly recommend this local walk to our guests. Free parking in Askham village next to Askham hall & the lovely Punchbowl pub oppersite🍻 then proceed to walk through the village 🏡🏡 past Askham Store, perfect for getting some refreshments & up onto the fell 🌿🌾🌼 🐄 🐑 This moderate climb walks you through beautiful cumbrian countryside. Looking back you will see these far reaching views of Lowther Castle & the Pennines 🏰 ⛰️ When reaching the top, look out for the cairn! where you're greeted with a fabulous 360⁰ view across to Pooley bridge & the Lakes 🏞 in the oppersite direction Penrith, the Pennines & across to Carlisle and beyond... at certain times of the year, you may be fortunate to be walking amongst Fell poinies 🐴🥰 🌾🍂🌿

Hello April 🪻
Easter Holidays, Bluebell season, longer days, sunnier days and warmer weather (hopefully!)
Are you visiting the North Lakes this April?

DISCLAIMER - Bluebells in the Lake District start to appear Mid - end of April into early May hence the post about being the start of Bluebell season. The past TWO years the Bluebells have started to bloom Mid/End of April, hence April being the START of the Bluebell Season, by Mid May the past two years the Bluebells had started to wilt!

Image taken of the Bluebells at Rannerdale Knotts - please note it can get very busy here, we recommend visiting early or late, if you can go midweek even better.
Park responsibly or even get the bus into Buttermere and take a walk to the Bluebells.
Remember to NEVER trample on the Bluebells and stick to the designated paths, the bluebells are roped off to protect them.
Rannerdale is not the only place to see Bluebells in the Lake District there are many other places - do your research and avoid the crowds
