Wellness in the Lakes
We all know the routine, 1st of January, pull those trainers on for the first time in 365 days, run to the first lamp post and begin to see stars… (spend next 15 minutes being propped up by said lamp post).
Instead this year, why not come to the Lakes for some alternative activities that are kinder to body and soul, and will stoke you up for the year ahead.

1. Walk with Alpacas
It’s a memorable experience to stroke the incredibly soft coats of the Alpacas, and you will gain a deep sense of calm by keeping company with these noble creatures.In September 2019 we had the great fortune to walk them at the incredible Lingholm Estate up in Keswick, something we always tell our guests as a must do

2. Watersports
From Kayaking on Ullswater, Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP) on Lake Windermere or open water swimming in Gummer’s How Tarn, (all within striking distance of Mirefoot Cottages), doing something this enjoyable or challenging in a place of beauty always raises pulse rates and spirits.

3. Scafell Pike
Conquer nature by reaching the summit of England’s tallest Mountain. For spectacular views and something to be proud of. Also a good place to make those New Year’s resolutions – ones you may actually keep!
