Out and About

Link House is a traditional late Victorian country house, set in one of the quieter parts of the Lake District National Park and enjoying stunning views of the surrounding fells. Nearby, peaceful Bassenthwaite Lake, offers sailing, rowing & fishing.

There are many gentle walks close to the house, and the surrounding northern and western fells have walks & climbs to suit just about everyone, including Wythop woods & Whinlatter forests.

Overlooking the lake is Skiddaw, at over 3,000 feet England's sixth highest peak.

A ten minute drive east takes you to Keswick on Derwentwater, with its bustling shops and many visitor attractions, while to the west is the charming market town of Cockermouth, where William & Dorothy Wordsworth were born in a handsome Georgian house in the main street, now owned by the National Trust.

Further afield, Carlisle, Hadrian’s wall and the Scottish Borders make a fascinating day trip.

This is a landscape for all seasons - the Spring daffodils and lambs, the Summersunshine (and rain!), the Autumn colours or the snow covered fells in Winter.

Link House is an ideal location for visiting the quieter lakes of Buttermere, Crummock Water, Ennerdale Water and Loweswater. Here you will find a picturesque tranquility that is perhaps less well known.
