Situated beneath Whitbarrow Scar, in a stunning area running south east from the shores of Lake Windermere is the small village of Witherslack. Encompassing fell, woodland, river and valley bottom, the surrounding area is an excellent place for walking and mountain biking. The village is composed of a number of fine, stone-built traditional houses, cottages and barn conversions, set in unspoiled and varied countryside. There is a nature reserve close by which makes an excellent place for birdwatching and walking whilst the nearby town of Lindale boasts narrow streets, traditional dwellings and quaint old pubs. Cartmel is another town with a famous annual horse race whilst the pretty coastal resorts of Arnside and Grange-over-Sands are also well worth a visit. With Lake Windermere, Bowness-on-Windermere and Hawkshead just a short drive away, this charming village makes a wonderful choice for a relaxing holiday.
