St Sunday Crag is deceptive as there is a steep climb initially until you come to what looks like the top but it goes a lot further than the first bit but the views are worth the climb. Take lots of water and a packed lunch though and make a day of it.

Only my second Lakeland fell climb to date to me to Hallin Fell. We accessed the climb from the car park at St Peters church in Martindale. The little road that passes a few camp sites is driven from near Pooley bridge. Beware at busy times bank holidays being the main, the road is extremely difficult to navigate due volume of traffic and on one occasion a full sized coach manoeuvred along when we exited. Back to the climb, it is a very steep grassy track accessed on the opposite side of the road. With average fitness and resting you should make the summit in around half an hour. Believe me the views are magnificent in all directions. I loved it and I'm sure you will too, it's worth all the effort!

With around 400 different gins and an eclectic mix of wines, beers, spirits, food and drink, Chestnut House is fast becoming the place to shop in Cumbria and The Lakes
Reviewed By CKM6969 - Greater Manchester, United Kingdom
Probably the best selection of deli style foods, beers, wines & spirits I've ever seen in such a compact store. Owners & staff super friendly and absolutely know their stuff, and stock some stunning local produce and lots more - if you like gin then this will be your 'Gin Nirvana' and I'd highly recommend you pay them and the lovely little village that is Pooley Bridge a visit - definitely on my list next time I'm over that way
6. Place Fell

For those who are new to Patterdale, Place Fell is a wonderful peak from where there are wonderful panoramic views across to the Helvellyn range and the length of Ullswater lake. From Patterdale it is a fairly straightforward walk along well maintained paths and takes about 90 minutes on average to reach the peak. Good easily achieved peak with fantastic views for families. From the peak the walk change extende downhill to the north to the lakeside path providing a circular walk back to the start point.

This medieval Tudor and early-Georgian mansion has been home to the Hasell family since 1679.
Reviewed By madfish2017 - Penrith, United Kingdom
This is a favourite family walk in the winter with a welcoming tea room in a lovely old house with lots of interesting history. It has an international marmalade festival each spring, which I haven’t been to, but we frequently treat ourselves throughout the year to a jar or two of marmalade ( free tasting available).
