My husband and I will be visiting the Lake District in September for three nights. We will be taking the train from Oban, so I know it will be a long travel day. We will be staying at Holly Lodge in Windermere, without a car. We plan on doing a half day tour with Mountain Goat tours to Beatrix Potter area, as the one tour we were interested in for an entire day was to the All Creatures area, and is not offered while we are there on Monday- Tuesday-Wednesday evenings.
It has been suggested that we wander on our own for the one day we don't have a tour - wondering how easy it is to get around, what we shouldn't miss, etc. The thought of spending a day on a tour bus without being in the beauty doesn't appeal. We are 70 years old, healthy and active, but not up for strenuous hiking - more strolling to enjoy the serenity and beauty. How long is the walk to other lakes or towns nearby?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Any restaurant recommendations?
Also, how is Holly Lodge?
