Hiking

Wray Castle is a 19th century Gothic Revival building on the shore of Lake Windermere. It's owned and managed by the National Trust with paid entry to the castle for non-members. You can still park here (parking charge for non-members) and walk around the gardens and further afield. The lakeside trails are very pretty and Blelham Tarn isn't far away.
