Whilst visiting the Lake District it’s sometimes difficult to know where you can take your dog without having to leave them out, or worse still, in the car! Attractions across the Lake District are easily accessible from Tree Top Lodge at Limefitt Park and Calgarth Lodge on White Cross Bay – both within 2 – 3 miles of Windermere, Bowness-on-Windermere and Ambleside – the Heart of the Lakes – so easy to Drive, Walk, Cycle, Train it, Cruise or even Kayak to many attractions and places of interest – but can you take your dog?
