I grew up in the Lake District and used to live in Cartmel.:)


It's a picturesque little village with a couple of very good pubs as well as a Michelin starred restaurant, and is within a 15 minute drive of Lake Windermere.


It's also close to Grange-over-Sands, with it's long promenade and a fantastic hotel - the Grange Hotel - which is a great place to go for lunch/afternoon tea or dinner: http://www.grange-hotel.co.uk/

Coniston is great - a good variety of walks at all levels close by, plus the lake to play with, great pubs and not quite as touristy as other areas I'd say. There's a huge house called townson ground you can rent - ,its only about a mile from the village.

Wherever you go though it'll be great - the lakes are a fab destination, even if it rains!

Coniston is great, that's where I stayed when on a field trip many years ago with a large group of us. I don't think the accommodation would be considered fancy enough for a holiday but for a group spending most of their time outdoors it was absolutely fine, if a little basic. It was so good I cannot remember the names of the places we went to!

    • It was a weird place, and there never seemed to be many people in it. Stalls/selling areas (they  weren't really stalls as such) came and went. For a while there was an area upstairs as well. Around the beginning of ED  gentrification,  someone opened a champagne bar near the entrance. I think it also sold oysters, though there was another oyster place in the market, possibly not at the same time. Whether it did or not, unsurprisingly it didn't last long. I can't imagine they had done any market research, or even wondered why anybody would want to drink champagne in that kind of environment. I'm not sure an indoor market would work now, but what do I know. It would depend on what it sold and whether people wanted what it sold, I suppose. It wouldn't get much passing trade in Zenoria Street, so it would have to be very well advertised.
    • Guacamoles in Rye Lane market for pretty authentic Tacos  Ganapati on Holly Grove has some of the best south Indian  food in London - light, aromatic fresh, home style cooking - lovely location and people too. Forzawine is fun for a rooftop terrace, great view, cocktails and good small plates     
    • Someone to carve Dulwich posts.  Any recommendations?
    • Hello, is anyone looking to sell their car? I’m looking for a reliable runaround and finding a lot of spam/scammers on other sites, so thought I would put the word out more locally thanks.
