Situated in Outgate, Barn End is perfectly located for a range of stunning walks. Stroll to the shores of Lake Windermere or enjoy the popular Tarn Howes loop. Just a short walk from the property, you’ll find the Outgate Inn and a short drive brings you to the famous Drunken Duck Inn where delicious evening meals and local ale are served.
For memorable day trips, the pretty village of Hawkshead is a five minute drive in one direction and the vibrant village of Ambleside is a five minute drive in the other.
Relax and unwind with your loved one in this cosy barn conversion.
Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.
