Local Attractions

The Lake District is a breathtaking part of nature's playground. Join us to make the most of your visit by borrowing our local knowledge of activities and attractions.

With so many great attractions for all the family right on our doorstep, the question is where to start to get the best from your stay?

Situated right on the edge of Lake Windermere at Waterhead Bay, the Regent Hotel is the perfect base for those who enjoy messing about on the water. You can hire a rowing boat, enjoy watersports, or take a cruise on the Lake with Windermere Lake Cruises. All within yards of leaving our front door!  

For those with a head for heights, try Go Ape, Grizedale Forest's challenging course of rope bridges and zip slides up to 60 feet above the forest floor.

For landlubbers who prefer a more sedate pace of life, why not visit Keswick Pencil Museum, home of the world's longest pencil, or make time to see Peter Rabbit and friends?

And if you enjoy a challenge, try finding your way out of the Meadow Vole Maze at haunted Muncaster Castle.

Finally, round the day off with a family film at Zeffirellis in Ambleside village.

Our staff will be on hand during your stay to help you find the best of the huge choice of local attractions. Armed with maps for stunning walking routes and guides and leaflets galore, you're sure to make the most of your trip to nature's playground with a stay at the Regent Hotel!

    We know that the dog-lovers among you hate the thought of leaving your 'best friend' behind when you go on holiday, even more so when you're coming to the best walking countryside in the world.

    Just a 2-minute stroll away are the beautiful Borrans Park and Bird House Meadow where your dog can run tail-waggingly free.

    And there's a fantastic pet shop at Waterhead Bay for any tasty treats and pet necessities you may have forgotten to bring. Plus, our Courtyard Rooms lead straight outside and are ideal for dog owners.

    If required, we can happily prepare food for your dog and cater for any special requests.
