After a long drive or perhaps a weeks commuting we incourage our guests to leave the car in the car park and take advantage of the endless “walks from our door” Hazelbank offers the opportunity to take in all the Borrowdale fells and trails whatever their ability. In addition if you would like to delve deeper or prefer guidance, we can offer the services of a local qualified Mountain Guide Anna Lawford. Please enquire at the hotel.

Starting at the Hause point, National Trust car park, the footpath begins leading upwards from the outset. The […]
