A Late Birthday Break in the Lake District

I had been given a Hotel voucher for my 70th Birthday in May from our friends Niall & Elspeth so we finally decided on a short break of 2 nights Dinner Bed & Breakfast in the Briery Wood Country Hotel on Windermere. It was a great hotel to choose as it was so friendly and the food was excellent. Our journey there took us over Kirkstone Pass. 
The Kirkstone Hotel at the top of the Kirkstone Pass which must be a cold place to live in the middle of winter.

The Marina at the Low Wood Hotel just along from our hotel and this is the largest hotel in the Lake District with new bedrooms being added to it this winter ready for next year.

After we arrived on Thursday afternoon I walked along the Windermere shore line just as this steamer passed by.
On Friday we headed into Ambleside where this famous bridge is. 
The afternoon on Friday was very wet but I decided to find the geocache located in the base of this old tree stump.  
I was watched by this Lamb while I was searching for the geocache. It was a lovely break and we will certainly head back to this hotel sometime in the future.
