Beautiful location in the Lake District National Park:
The school is in the centre of the beautiful Lake District National Park, overlooking a small lake and surrounded by mountains. There are many wonderful walks from the cottage including waterfalls, caves, valleys, mountains and rivers. Windermere, the largest lake in England, is just 3km away. The Lake District is a very special place and it is currently being considered for World Heritage status. The region is very popular with British tourists so there are many facilities in the villages, including cinemas, shops, bars, clubs, boating, tennis, fitness centres and leisure spas.
Our school is less than 2 hours by car from Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds / Bradford, Blackpool and Newcastle airports. Our area is also easily accessible from the airports by train or bus.
