Whatever the reason, you will find an unparalleled range of adrenalin pumping activities around the Northern Lake District and Cumbria generally.

To give you a flavour, as well as some contacts, we've provided here a set of links to the Cumbria Tourism's Outdoor Adventure website. Follow these to plan the high energy part of your stay at Monkhouse Hill.

Rookin House are mentioned frequently and are within a short drive of the cottages, as are the water sport centres on Ullswater.

We provide information in the cottages about local walks, jogging circuits and cycle routes from the gate, as well as recommended excursions into the Northern Fells.
