The Lake District and Cumbria - Ref 1909

Situated on the southernmost tip of the Lake District in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is the village of Arnside The surrounding land is characterised by low limestone hills, marshy plains and deciduous woodlands, making this an interesting scenic backdrop for a walking or cycling holiday Having retained many of the features from its past, this former fishing port still possesses a beautiful pier and port area with stunning views across the Kent Estuary The 15th Century Peel Towers lie to the south of the village and were constructed to defend the settlement against the marauding Scots Stunning limestone pavements as well as wonderful woodland walks through countryside alive with rare plants, trees and wildlife makes this a nature lover's paradise In addition, the Leighton Moss RSPB Reserve is also just one mile away and presents excellent bird-watching opportunities Situated just five minutes from the promenade in the lovely coastal resort of Arnside, this property is a stone-built detached dormer-bungalow that has been lovingly refurbished to provide light and airy accommodation The spacious rear garden offers excellent al fresco dining opportunities, as well as a place to relax during the day with a good book and a glass of something cold The cottage is well served by the local amenities in Arnside itself, however for more specialist shops Grange-over-Sands is easily accessible by the local railway service .
