Wooden pier on the eastern shore of Coniston Water

Highlight • Lake

This is such a stunning route, which follows almost the whole eastern side of Coniston Water. It's a popular route during peak times, so be considerate of other users.

A National Trust property that's open for visitors from late March to late October, Wray Castle is a stunning Victorian house built in 1840. A bit of a strange sight with its turrets and architectural features, word has it that the house was built for a married couple using the wife's inheritance fund – only problem was that when she saw it she refused to live in it!

In 1882, the parents of Beatrix Potter decided to rent Wray Castle as a summer getaway from London and the family kept returning. Beatrix Potter's favourite room was allegedly the library.

It's not your typically National Trust property with gowns and dust-covers – it's far more hands-on and worth a day trip!

The gardens are pretty special too, with a ton of exotic trees and also a mulberry tree planted by William Wordsmith in 1845.

Ulverston and Hoad Monument

Highlight • Historical Site

A lovely market town on the Furness Peninsula, Ulverston is made up of quaint cobbled streets and historical buildings. The small town has plenty of things to see and do. You can visit the world's only Laurel and Hardy Museum (Stan Laurel was born here), stroll along the world's shortest, deepest, and widest canal, or visit the Lakes Glass Centre were molten glass is transformed into works of art.
