From Manesty you can step out into a walking adventure straight from the door, be it a relaxing ramble along the river or lakeshore; a rewarding walk up the famous Catbells (the path starts right next to us); or a long day hike taking in some of Borrowdale’s high fells or the Newland’s Horseshow. Grange boasts a picturesque stone bridge, a shallow gravelly stretch of the River Derwent, ideal for paddling and exploring, and a cafĂ© offering delicious home-cooked food. The rocky shores of southwest Derwent Water are ideal for exploring, picnicking and skimming stones! There are plenty of companies locally who can help you find your adventurous side: is yours on the water, up a crag or even maybe in the sky?
