The Area
Nab Cottage overlooks a small lake and is surrounded by hills. It
is in the centre of the Lake District National Park, an area of
incredible beauty. There are many wonderful walks from the cottage
including waterfalls, caves, valleys, mountains and rivers. We
have a large canoe you can use on the lake and on warm days you
can swim in the lake. It is a 500m walk along the lake to our
local pub, a 3km walk along the river into the local village of
Ambleside, and 3km around the lake into Grasmere. The region is
very popular with British tourists so there are many facilities in
the villages, including cinemas, shops, bars, clubs, boating,
tennis, fitness centres and leisure spas.
Windermere, the largest lake in England, is just 3km away. There
are two larger market towns 18km from here; Keswick to the north
and Kendal to the south. Here you can find ruined castles, an
ancient stone circle, theatres, museums and many other
attractions. The Lake District is a very special place and it is
currently being considered for World Heritage status. For
