Keswick was so busy today that Molly and I decided to abandon our lake side walk and head to somewhere I knew we would have to ourselves. Can you guess where we went?

Where did you see the eclipse? We headed over to the Castlerigg stone circles (20 mins walk from Low Nest). There was an amazing chilled festival vibe going on, complete with a gong!

In typical cumbrian style a cloud came over bang on 7. But it soon cleared and we got that incredible cloud over the eclipse!

Today was a monumental day as we started the process of getting the highland cows in calf. The vet came over today to sync their cycles before we get an AI (the og AI) guy in next week.

Alasdair got inducted into the process by being đŸ’© on by one of the 🐄

All being well we should have baby highland cows next May/June. It’s often only 60% successful so there might only be one or two calves.

We don’t know what’s in the (private spring) water of Low Nest, but we had two engagements over the weekend. Congratulations everybody!!!

We actually have quite a few engagements a year with many asking advice for potential locations. If you were to get engaged in the Lakes, where would you want to be asked? Surprise view? Summit of Scafell Pike? Crow park? Booths car park?! Or just that view from Low Nest?!

Want to know how to grow a chicken from an egg? Well we’ve got you covered. Here is our expert video guide of growing a chicken from an egg, taking you right from planting the egg to watching it mature in the ground, up to the full gandering chicken. All in Alasdair’s best influencer voice.

Ever fancied taking on Sharp Edge on Blencathra? Possibly the Lake Districts best grade 1 scramble and when done right it’s a great day out for a fit walker.

Freya and Alasdair headed up there earlier this week. It was a major achievement for Freya who is really starting to get into climbing and bigger adventures. But for Alasdair it’s a regular haunt with his gallivanting antics with Keswick Mountain Rescue. Sharp Edge is not a place after it’s rained and even then It can be very dangerous. However, if you’re nervous then employ one of the many guide in the lakes who’ll take very good care of you!

Have you done it or fancy doing it?

Sometimes you just need to go beyond the popular places to find solace in the Lake District. This is the cascades, a series of refreshing (and very cold) pools fed straight from the mountains, the perfect wild swimming spot in the Lake District.

10 minutes walk below is Aira Force, where on a day like today it’s very busy, while here it’s simply sublime. When visiting the Lake District during peak periods, such as summer holidays, you will find places get busy. We could simply build bigger car parks, but we don’t want to over develop this beautiful place. So if visiting the Lake District this summer then consider getting out early or aiming for the fringes, seek out those hidden corners, like here at the cascades just 30 minutes from Low Nest Farm.

Want a lunch inspiration for your next holiday to Keswick? Possibly the Lake Districts finest venue for breakfast and lunch:

A short drive, or a relaxing walk from town, Lingholm is a special little place to eat. The food is delicious, but as you’ll see the walled garden is spectacular and very important as Beatrix Potter was so inspired by it during her holidays to Lingholm that she base Mr McGregors garden on it.

A Sunday adventure walking White Moss to Ambleside stopping in for a treat at Taking the bus from Low Nest meant we could do a one way walk and the girls love a bus ride.

Last Minute Availability in the Helvellyn Hut, with 20% discount!

We found a technical glitch on our website, that when fixed brought up some rare availability in the hut for this July and August!

This really is a rare opportunity to spend an unforgettable break in what the Independent ranked in their top 10 cabins to stay in across the whole UK. What better way to keep cool this summer than sat in your own sunken Japanese bath with views across the whole Helvellyn range.

Get in there quick as we don’t expect these dates to hang around for long!
