Urban Delights
If you need to escape from the escape, then urban treats are within a 20 minute drive - Penrith is a great town to explore and the main Cumbrian tourist spots are rarely more than 40 minutes drive
Ullswater and Aira Force
The closest lake to Haweswater, Ullswater offers stunning views, steamer rides and (of course) Aira Force, all starting just a 20 minute drive from the Hotel at Pooley Bridge
Lakeland Bird of Prey Centre
