What to expect
Holehird Gardens
Holehird Gardens has been home to the Lakeland Horticultural Society since 1969. However, written records of Holehird go back to the 17th century when a large part of the area was owned by Thomas Hird and his family. Discover a diverse selection of plants and shrubs in these beautiful and picturesque grounds. Relax and stroll the gardens at your leisure. Especially popular during Spring and Summer.
40 minutes
Ambleside Roman Fort
Discover the ruins of a Roman Garrison on the shore of Lake Windermere. A far cry from the peaceful setting it is now, Ambleside Roman Fort was once a bustling lively place, and not always a safe one, with the threat of conflict around every corner.
20 minutes
Wray Castle
A gothic revival castle sitting on the shores of Lake Windermere with turrets, towers and informal grounds. 180 years ago, a surgeon and a Gin heiress from Liverpool began building a castle that would only ever have to defend itself from the Cumbrian weather. With all the furniture and artwork long since gone and the last family moving out in the 1920s, the castle has had mixed uses and only opened to visitors in 2011.
