This time of year is about getting creative and appreciating the simple things. There’s lots of natural materials in our woodland to turn your den into a fort, a pirate ship or a cosy hide out – connect with nature and make those treasured memories during this stunning time of year.

Sizergh Fell and River run

Nestling amongst the outer folds of the Lake District fells, the area around Kendal is a fell runner's paradise. 

Just a few short minutes after setting off from the hustle and bustle of this busy market town, you can be out amongst classic fell and river scenery. 

You can also walk this route if you fancy a gentle stroll.
