August 1 Rampside, Cumbria

Drove through the middle of The Lakes District National Park which had some spectacular scenery.  We only found one place to pull off the road so didn’t get photos of all the different landscapes we encountered.



We did stop for a walk around in Keswick but as it was raining (not hard by any means) we didn’t walk for too long.  Lots of people out and about in the rain so can’t imagine what it might have been if it had been a sunny days.

We drove to Barrow-In-Furness and then TripAdvisor listed a hotel called The Clarke’s in Rampside where we have stopped for the night.  What a glorious place!  We really lucked out as this is a really nice hotel and restaurant.  As Rampside is a tiny place, The Clarke’s is the only non-residential place here.  The bar and restaurant are full tonight and we had our dinner in the restaurant downstairs.

Our room is on the left with 3 windows on 2nd floor and looks directly down onto our rental car

  1. Hopefully you are going to stop in Liverpool and Chester on your way south. Lots of family from the Liverpool area on our side - three generations removed. Book a Fab Four Taxi tour of the Beatle sights. A good three hour investment!!!!!
