Hello I am Sarah, the owner of the Herdwick Huts. I hope you have a fantastic stay here in this stunning part of the country. All of the best walks and wild swim spots are literally from your hut door! Enjoy.

The huts are perfectly positioned a 5 minute walk from Rydal Lake and many classic valley and high level walks, including the Coffin Route to Grasmere and the famous Fairfield Horseshoe. The small town of Ambleside is within walking distance, with amenities such as shops, restaurants and a five-screen cinema. Our central location means great access by road, public transport and bicycle to explore most parts of the Lake District. The Badger Bar - pub / restaurant offering full English Breakfast and badger watching location just a short walk away.

You can walk straight from the huts through a stunning woodland sculpture path to access historic Rydal Hall. Great for exploring, the Hall’s extensive 34 acre grounds has ornate gardens, a Grotte, and superb tearoom. Elsewhere on site there are paths which lead past cascading waterfalls and secret pools.
