Windermere and Troutbeck

This property includes the beautiful and secluded head of the Troutbeck valley, as well as several sites next to Windermere and six farms. One of these, Troutbeck Park, was once owned by Beatrix Potter and was her largest farm.

Ambleside Roman Fort, tiny Bridge House in Ambleside and Cockshott Point on the lake at Bowness-on-Windermere are all popular places to visit. Footpaths lead from Ambleside over Wansfell to the Troutbeck Valley and offer high-level views and contrasting valley landscapes.

A Community Education Officer is based at the property and educational group visits and other activities can be arranged.
