We are going to stay at the Derwentwater Hotel in Portiscale near Keswick, hubby and I have stayed there before, so we know the layout for taking Honey along will be fine, and we have booked her in with us in advance.
We thought it would be nice to have a "chilly out " week before the Christmas festivities begin :)
The weather was wet and miserable on our journey to the Lakes but thankfully it stopped the next day so we managed a few walks without getting too wet.
In Keswick town centre ,just on Station Road is the Leisure Centre and from here is the start of a walk along a disused railway track.The four mile walk takes you along the river Derwent and to the lovely village of Threlkeld.This was the ideal place to have a spot of lunch at the very welcoming public house called the "Horse and Farrier " where we and Honey were made very welcome muddy boots and all :)
So refreshed we head back on the four mile walk to Keswick.
The snow capped mountains looked spectacular ,but we decided to keep to the lower fells and visit some popular tourist villages like Grasmere and Ambelside.
