The Fenwick has an enviable position at the gateway to the Lake District National Park. England’s largest and arguably most breath-taking outdoor destination, the Lake District offers stunning lakes, mountains, valleys and towns to explore. Ambleside is a fantastic base to explore the eastern fells of the Lake District and is a 45 minute drive from the Fenwick.

Lancaster is steeped in history with a 12th century castle sitting on top of the hill, overlooking the city and the River Lune. Its maritime heritage is apparent at the 18th century quayside and there are many notable buildings to visit including the Roman Bath House and Lancaster Priory. Lancaster charter market is a great way to shop outdoors and operates every Wednesday and Saturday. Williamson Park offers 54 acres of woodland and views across to Morecambe Bay.

Covering 860 square miles, the Yorkshire Dales is home to the famous ‘Three Peaks’ mountains, abbeys, castles, caves, gorges and pretty market towns such as Grassington. The Fenwick sits just 10 miles from the edge of the Dales so is a great base to explore the landscape.
