The coastal town of Maryport is a short drive away with a host of attractions, including Lake District Coast Aquarium, the Senhouse Roman Museum, and Mayport Golf Course, or perhaps you'd prefer strolling along Cumbria's shoreline at Crosscanonby Nature reserve? The wild, windswept coast of Cumbria has mesmerising views across the Solway to Scotland and picturesque villages such as Allonby. You'll find plenty of walks along the Solway Firth Coast, a haven for birdwatchers and wildlife lovers, whilst plenty more adventure awaits in the Lake District National Park, a short journey away from Billy's Cottage. Start in Cockermouth, a lovely market town which hosts Wordsworth House and Garden, Castlegate House Gallery, and popular restaurants such as Aspava and The Bitter End pub. For a variety of watersports such as sailing, kayaking and canoeing, be sure to visit Bassenthwaite Lake, close to the Lake District Wildlife Park and scenic hikes up Skiddaw and Grisedale Pike. A little further lies the bustling market town of Keswick, where you can watch a performance at Theatre By The Lake, find plenty of activities at Keswick Museum, and discover the ancient Castlerigg Stone Circle. The Lake District is scattered with idyllic walks and waterfalls to explore, whether that's gentle strolls to Lodore Falls set in a wooded valley or breath-taking views at the top of the highest peak, Scafell Pike.
