Black Combe dominates the area around this part of the Lake District. It makes for an interesting walk, with Scotland and the Isle of Man being clearly visible at various points on the journey.
The small villages of Haverigg and Silecroft both have excellent beaches and horse riding. There is also a well known Nature Reserve and Water Skiing resort at Hodbarrow in Haverigg. to visit the old windmills at Hodbarrow Point  during spring and
early summer and look out for the orchids near the RSPB

The beauty of having a place to retreat to in a quiet part of the Lakes is that you don't feel compelled to do anything you don't really feel like doing. Although the Cottage is small it is in the perfect place for the young and fit to go Fell walking, cycling or climbing. Tarn How's is only 30 mins away!
For those who want more leisurely activities, there are some interesting low level short walks and some car routes with excellent views.
There is also the Laurel & Hardy Museum in Ulverston, a Mining Museum in Millom, a Zoo at Dalton and a 9 hole Links Course at Silecroft .
