Activities
There is a wealth of activities available in and around Eltermere, here is just a handful of ideas from our ever expanding range -
Walking
Walking is the number one activity here and there is no better place in the U.K. The Langdales offer the most superb walks and the beauty is awesome. There is a walk for every level. We are very thrilled to be able to assist in explaining many of the walks and finding one to personally suit. There are no less than seven walks which can be taken directly from the hotel.
The Eltermere Inn and Local Guide Mike Wood have been working together to bring you the perfect day out. Safely enjoy a day on the hills with Mike followed by a night at the Eltermere Inn. www.mikewoodmountain.co.uk
We also have plenty of space in our drying room for wet clothes and boots!
The Langdale Spa
All our guests have access to the facilities at The Langdale Spa which offers swimming, tennis, cycling, spa treatments, sauna, jaccuzzi and steam room. Perfect after a long walk or on a rainy day.
Cycling
Grizedale and Whinlatter Forest Park and various cycle and bridle paths throught the Langdales, Coniston and Ambleside.
