The Lake District
Chestnuts Hotel is pleasantly situated in the heart of the English Lake District less than a minute's walk to the center of Windermere where we have over 50 restaurants for you to experience. Lake Windermere is just 10 minutes walk from here, where you can take a leisurely cruise and sail down to Wateredge and Lakeside.
The South Central Lakes contains many areas worth visiting, including many picturesque lakes. The names of these lakes are familiar to us all, evoking fond memories and providing visitors with both energetic and restful pursuits: Windermere offers all manner of lake activities; as does Coniston Water, with the 'Old Man' (803m) towering above; Thirlmere provides clear and pure contemplation while Ullswater is popular for sailing.
Nowhere else will you find nature and culture in such close proximity. Grasmere has Dove Cottage, with Rydal Mount Close by, both former homes of Wordsworth. Sawrey is where Beatrix Potter's characters sprang to life. At Grizedale Forest, you'll find a fascinating sculpture trail, whilst Brantwood, John Ruskin's home, above Coniston Water, offers you an insight into the life of this influential writer.
