There are also two Pubs in the village serving food as well as a selection of cafes and a Bistro. There are many beautiful walks from the door and direct cycle access to the numerous mountain biking trails in Grizedale Forest. Nearby Esthwaite Water also offers fishing and there are many interesting places to visit including Beatrix Potter’s home Hill Top & The Gallery.
