Treetop and Calgarth Lodges

This is a picture of the view that we had on Saturday whilst having a bite to eat at the very reasonably priced cafe at Brockhole. Had the most huge slice of apple pie and cream which was £2.25 and they do a good variety of snacks, cakes and meals – and a proper clotted cream tea! Yum! The Lake District Visitor Centre (which I think is it’s official title) is about a 10 minute walk from the entrance of White Cross Bay and is roughly a 10 minute drive from Limefitt Park – and it’s free (apart from a parking charge). We were staying at Tree Top Lodge on Limefitt and we walked down via Troutbeck village (you walk up the hill to the post office, turn left and then follow fork to Windermere and turn right at the bottom of the road towards WXB – takes between half hour and an hour dependent on who’s there) – spent a good 3 hours at Brockhole eating, wandering around the beautiful gardens and using up some excess energy at the Adventure Playground! Chris then took his lad swimming at White Cross Bay whilst I attempted to walk off afore mentioned apple pie with a swift walk back to Tree Top Lodge, Limefitt Park to get the car and the kayak – for our next adventure of the day!!
