Lake District Walks and Walking Tours
The Eagle & Child is extremely well situated as a base for Lake District walks, exploring the Lakeland fells, and more. High Street, Kentmere, and the Eastern fells are the nearest, but the rest of the Lakes is only a short drive away.
If you like the high mountains, then try such challenges as the Fairfield Horseshoe, the Kentmere Round or the Helvellyn Ridge. At a more sedate pace, there are many low level walks and rambles in and around the village, all with breathtaking views of the higher fells.
Most of the Lakes are only a very short drive away and many have wonderful walks around them. Why not escape to the more tranquil parts and relax by the water’s edge.
Alfred Wainright himself spent a lot of time in this part of the Lakes. Within walking distance is one of his favourite spots, Orrest Head, just above Windermere. It’s only a few miles from us – you’ll not be disappointed with the spectacular views.
Lake District Guided Walks
We can also arrange for a guide to accompany you on your
Lake District walks, and to show you the best of what is on offer. This is a great way of getting the most out of your stay with us and takes the hassle out of route finding.
If you require a guide for your stay please contact us for a price and to check availability.
Alternatively, you check out John Scadding – Lake District’s guided walks & a great website full of useful information – www.thelakedistrictwalker.co.uk
What Comes Next After Your Walk through the Lake District?
Imagine this – At the end of a hard day on the fells what better than to relax by a log fire, eat delicious homemade food and sample the delights of our wine list or selection of fine ales. In summer relax, by the river in our peaceful beer garden, or soak up the evening sun on our terrace. Relaxing at Eagle & Child Inn is a perfect way to finish the day! See you here!
