Don’t miss the chance to try Cartmel’s famous sticky toffee pudding while on your foodie tour of the village, before exploring its historic 12th-century priory. Walk it off with a gentle stroll around Eggerslack Woods (3 miles), or for a day of water sports, boat rides and swimming, Lake Windermere (6 miles) is a great day out. Pack a picnic and head to the beach at Grange-over-Sands, 2 miles away.
