This is one of the prettiest villages in the Lake District, well known for associations with the English poet, William Wordsworth and for the Beatrix Potter buildings.

The village itself has very picturesque houses and it is as good as anywhere to book for your first visit to the district as long as you will have a car. Public transport is very limited.
