Sitting amongst peaceful woodland on a private estate between Ambleside and Coniston, Tarn Hows is the perfect location for a relaxing break in the Lake District. You are guaranteed quiet and seclusion, yet with some of the most popular attractions in the Lakes within easy driving distance. A holiday cottage near the Langdale Valley is an obvious choice for keen hikers and climbers. From the valley you can hike to England's highest tarn, or take on the spectacular Jake's Rake ridge as you tick off the famous three; Harrison Stickle, Pike of Stickle and Loft Crag. The neighbouring Wasdale and Borrowdale Valleys are traditional starting points for an ascent of Scafell Pike. 

Ambleside is just a few miles away and the ideal place to stock up the kitchen on your way. The vibrant village centre is well worth a visit; lazing in cafes, visiting historic sites such as the roman fort, or strolling to Lake Windermere for a lake cruise to Bowness or Lakeside. Ambleside tourist information centre is a useful port of call for walking routes, and there are plenty of expert outdoor stores where advice will be on hand.

A host of excellent Lake District country pubs are dotted throughout the Langdale Valley, serving locally brewed ale and hearty food. If you're looking for a special evening out, sample the Glass House in Ambleside or seek out the famous Drunken Duck Inn and Restaurant in Outgate.
