Greenbank self catering holiday cottage in the Lake District

This traditional 19th century semi detached cottage is situated in a rural position on the edge of the Lake District National Park with far reaching views of the Lake District fells and Langdale Pikes in the distance.

The cottage is approached down a private drive one fields distance from the road, making it secluded and quiet and yet it is only 1 1/2 miles north of the mediaeval market town of Kendal, known as the Gateway to the Lakes.

Being north of Kendal the cottage is extremely convenient for Windermere (8 miles), Ambleside and the central Lake District. Take a boat trip on Lake Windermere which at 10 1/2 miles, is the longest of the 16 lakes. Ambleside is approximately the centre of the Lake District with the lakes radiating out in most directions.

The Lake District National Park is an area of outstanding natural beauty, one quarter of which is owned by the National Trust. Beatrix Potter, who wrote and illustrated childrens books, lived in Hawkshead, near Windermere and William Wordsworth, the poet, lived in Grasmere.

The valleys of Longsleddale and Kentmere are only 4 miles away and offer dramatic scenery, good walking and bird watching - buzzards are often seen circling the hills opposite the cottage.

Ten miles east brings you to Sedbergh and the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
