Beech House B & B is ideally located to allow you to explore the Lake District. The lakes, mountains and hill walking spring to mind - Kendal was after all home to Wainwright, whose books still inspire many a walker to explore the Lakes. However walking is not the only thing on offer there are many attractions, activities, events & shops. There’s truly something for everyone.
The attractions range from the historic to the delicious! There is the beautiful arts & crafts house Blackwell, over looking lake Windermere or Brantwood the home of John Ruskin, best visited via gondola from Coniston. For your taste buds there is the famous 1657 Chocolate House in Kendal or you could visit one of the 24 local breweries. View the detailed guide on Cumbria Tourism’s website.
Activities are available here by the bucket load. The walks range from picturesque strolls to mountain scaling, the cycling is in abundance and if you fancy taking to the water there is canoeing, sailing, cruises or even swimming if you are feeling brave.
