Lake District Walk 3 Grasmere Circular Route 1st May 2018
We had a wonderful time in Grasmere today. Firstly we parked on the layby on the main road and walked into town. After visiting the church and Wordsworth's Grave, we had to have some of the Gingerbread biscuits at Sarah Nelson's! Then it was up to the National Trust Property of Allan Bank, where Wordsworth lived for 2 years ( but he never liked it apparently ). Here we saw Red Squirrels and completed the full Woodland Walk. Next we walked around Grasmere Lake, taking the Coffin Route back, stopped at Dove Cottage and the museum ( another Wordsworth property but not National Trust) before heading back to Grasmere for coffee and treats.
A lovely day and a lovely walk. Enjoy!!

Dorothy Wordsworth, 'A Small House in Grasmere'

Nunnington Hall
Suitable for children and family viewing Nunnington Hall is a Grade I listed house owned by the National Trust. In medieval times, it was connected to the wealthy St Mary's Abbey in York. Nunnington takes its name from a nunnery that was likely to be in the present location of the hall and existed prior to the Norman conquest before being dissolved around 1200 AD.
The Soho Tapestries represent a time when its owners were at their most fashionable but now all are at risk of being taken from view and put into storage if money is not raised in order to have them repaired.
This video was taken on 1st August and after a tour of this Yorkshire house it was time for a walk around the walled garden with flowers and a vegetable garden. Their organic meadow had just finished flowering on this visit but the Orchard trees had good crops of apples. The house and garden still retains the feeling of a former family home by the banks of the River Rye.
First music - “Everybody Hurts” composed by William Berry. Michel Stipe, Peter Buck and Michael Mills. Second music:- “Colours of My Life” by the Mantovani Orchestra from the CD “Tenderly”.
Hope you enjoy this video and thank you for viewing. Suitable for Children and Family viewing

Places to see in ( Ambleside - UK )
Ambleside is a town in Cumbria, in North West England. Historically within the county of Westmorland, Ambleside is situated at the head of Windermere, England's largest water. The town is within the Lake District National Park. Ambleside is also home to the headquarters of Brathay Exploration Group, a youth charity based just beyond Clappersgate on the road to Hawkshead.
Ambleside is administered by South Lakeland District Council and forms part of the Lakes civil parish but from 1894 to 1935 it was a separate urban district council. ‘Steamers' (in reality diesel-powered ferries) run to Bowness-on-Windermere and Lakeside offering fine views of the lake and surrounding mountains. Ambleside is a base for hiking, mountaineering and mountain biking. It has a number of hotels, guest houses, pubs and restaurants as well as shops. In particular, there are a number of shops selling equipment for walkers and climbers in the town. Ambleside is a popular starting point for the Fairfield horseshoe, a hillwaking ridge hike.
Ambleside features an oceanic climate, but being within the Lake District it does experience higher annual rainfall than the average for the North-West of England. Parts of the town have been flooded on numerous occasions, with the River Rothay breaking its banks during Storm Desmond in December 2015.
