South Lake District
Highfold Guest House, Troutbeck
High Fold is surrounded by typical Lake District scenery of lush green valleys, becks (streams), hills and mountain peaks. The house overlooks the Troutbeck valley and Applethwaite to the East. The fells around Troutbeck Park, the Tongue, and the peaks of Yoke, Ill Bell and Froswick lie to the North East. To the North lie the fells of Park Fell, Kirkstone Pass, the High Street range and the route of a Roman road. To the North West of High Fold is Wansfell Pike, from which Ambleside and Lake Windermere can be viewed.
Troutbeck is the ideal place for those wanting to enjoy walking or cycling, but is also suitable for those who wish to 'get away from it all' and enjoy the wonderful scenery and peace and tranquillity of one of the Lake District's prettiest and unspoilt villages. For those who haven't any knowledge of the area we can supply books and maps of local walks - or, if you wish, there are many short walks around the village whilst enjoying views of the Troutbeck valley. Alternatively a short stroll up Robin Lane will be rewarded with glorious views over Lake Windermere.
You may also choose to leave your car at the house and enjoy the many and varied walks, climbs and views in and around the Troutbeck area. High Street, the Troutbeck Circuit, Kentmere Round, the route over the Garburn Pass into Kentmere and to Ambleside via Wansfell are all walks you can start from High Fold. |
