The Lake District is one of the most popular tourist attractions in England, and is famous for its lakes and mountains. As a result, the region offers excellent facilities for watersports enthusiasts, as well as for walkers and climbers.
Although the beauty of the landscape is something not to be missed, the Lake District also offers much, much more. Towns such as Ambleside, Bowness, Coniston, Grasmere, Hawkshead, Keswick and Windermere have become particular favourites for many visitors. All these towns are littered with attractions that you can visit on those occasional rainy days: for example, in Ambleside there is the traditional glass-making of Adrian Sankey; in Bowness, the World of Beatrix Potter Attraction; near Coniston, Brantwood, the home of John Ruskin; in Grasmere, Dove Cottage, the home of William Wordsworth from 1799-1808; near Hawkshead, a trout fishery; in Keswick, George Fisher Ltd. - the outdoor retailer of the year; and finally, near Windermere, the Windermere Steamboat Museum. Much closer to home, there are attractions such as Artcrystal, the National Trust's Fell Foot Park, Holker Hall and the Lakeland Motor Museum. And that's just a small handful of the many things to see and do!
The advantage of staying at The Cavendish Arms in Cartmel is that you're on the fringe of the Lake District National Park - all the scenery and the above attractions are easily accessible, but you can also get peace and tranquillity away from the crowds that often dominate the central Lakes.

The Cavendish Arms has a charm honed over the years; the walls are not quite plumb nor are some of the doorcases; the beamed ceiling is low and the floorboards creak, but the atmosphere is quite something to savour.
The Cavendish has been well renowned for its exceptionally fine food for many years. The restaurant continues to delight customers old and new with meal skilfully prepared to suit all tastes. Sunday roasts are prepared on an open spit - the anticipation and the dining are to be equally enjoyed.
