Walks and marvellous views just on our doorstep . . .

Zack came to nudge me awake this morning. Eyes bleary but, being the indulgent owner that I am, I got up to go walkies with him and Hubby. What a wonderful vista greeted us: an inversion hung over Windermere, backlit by radiant morning sunlight glinting off the surrounding fell tops. ‘Thank you, Zack!’ 

Practically on our doorstep – since Blenheim Lodge Guest House literally snuggles into Brantfell – are acres of open fields, trails, woodlands and viewpoints to explore. We took Zack up to Post Knott, about a 20-minute leisurely meander from our front door. The ground was pretty frosty but otherwise the air was very still and I felt cosy and warm in my outdoor gear.

Zack’s ablutions completed, we walked back downhill via part of The Dales Way, which practically ends in our backyard. On the way down, I stopped to take a couple of photos, the second of which shows our guest house where it backs onto Brantfell.
