However you have spent your day, whether you have been cycling around this beautiful part of the Lake District, walking one of Wainwright’s routes or kayaking in one of the lakes. There is no better way to finish it than to spend your evening sitting around a fire pit sharing stories with friends old and new.

While Witherslack is known for being cyclist friendly you don’t have to come on two wheels. There’s plenty of other activities to get stuck into when things are back to normal, a bit of wild swimming perhaps?

The Lakes have some of the best wild swimming spots in the UK. Clear tarns in peaceful locations, not much more a wild swimmer could ask for. Windermere the ‘lake of the lakes’ so to speak isn’t far away and offers brilliant scenery for the more advanced swimmer, of course you don’t have to swim the whole 11 miles. Morecambe bay is great for sea swimmers. What better way to help relieve the lockdown blues by booking a trip in a fabulous hostel? Affordable accommodation in amazing locations. Enquire to find out more about availability post lockdown.

Perfectly placed for a stop off on Sustrans Walney to Wear Coast to Coast 70, midway on the Bay Cycle Way 700, and the Lakes & Dales Loop and the Le Jog – End to End is an easy 3 flat miles away (Levens A6).

Plus there are local and national walking routes from the door.  Facilites include drying room, laundry, secure lock up, eBike hire and free charging facilities. In the tradition of hostels you will find comfy bunk beds, warm showers, relaxing lounge areas and a place to prepare a meal.
