The clocks have changed now and we are truly into Autumn days. In the Lake District, deciduous trees and plants are showing off their burnished Fall colours. However, despite the cooler months of Autumn moving in, the Lake District is open as usual, with lots of things to see and do for a weekend escape.
The Lake District National Park is open year round. It is a place of home, work and play for its residents – and an oasis of peaceful relaxation and enjoyment for visitors. Our hilltop guest house, Blenheim Lodge, is tucked into a fell, away from the noisy madding crowd and main road traffic. Come and stay with us at our Bed and Breakfast and enjoy a home away from home: quiet, unassuming, comfortable, and welcoming.
Just 5 minutes’ walk from Blenheim Lodge are local attractions and amenities, all of which are open during weekends. At Bowness Bay on Lake Windermere, guests may board ferry boats which will take them to different parts of the Lake. Everything is close by and easily accessible from our B&B even though the peaceful hidden location of our guest house may seem far away! Our fell top situation also means that our guests can enjoy stunning views of Lake Windermere and the fells from their rooms!
Blenheim Lodge is located in Bowness-on-Windermere which provides easy access to other areas of the Lake District National Park. Guests may pick up an Explorer ticket on one of the local buses running from Bowness in the South Central Lakes to Keswick in the North Lakes. The ticket provides opportunities to hop on and off anywhere on the bus route so that guests can take time to explore and discover the towns and villages, walks and fells that the buses pass en-route. Some of these areas include Rydal, Grasmere, White Moss, and Thirlmere.
Lake District attractions, both indoor and outdoor, are mostly open year round too. Visitors to the Lakes can enjoy outdoor pursuits like ferry and boat rides, mountain biking, tree-top walking, Segway rides and other activities at Grizedale, Whinlatter and other other forests. Fell walking, a perennially favourite activity, is of course available any time of the year. Indoor attractions, such as Dove Cottage and the Pencil Museum are open throughout the year.
Autumn is a wonderful time to visit the Lakes, especially because of those incredible blazing colours, Nature’s own colour extravaganza. At Blenheim Lodge, we will be launching new offers for discounted breaks starting on 1 November 2013. Do read more about these offers on our blog or take a look at the Special Offers section of our website: www.blenheim-lodge.com/special_offers.php. Even if you only have a day to spare at the weekend, do consider a quick trip to the Lakes. It is too beautiful to miss!
Blenheim Lodge . . . panoramic Lake views, peace and tranquillity, nestled against acres of beautiful fields and woodlands, in the heart of the English Lake District National Park.’
