welcome to our first Blog posting. I have to admit that this is all new to me and the idea of a blog began as most good ideas do, over a soda water or two! The credit for this forum lays with my son David who is also the creator of the website, I'm fairly okay with IT but wouldn't know where to start building a website I'm much more at home in the garden.
The idea is to let those of you who choose to, join in and send us entries, or just read the entries in this blog. Its a way of finding out whats going on, in and around the area, recommendations for places to eat, walks, places of interest etc. Theres a lot happening in the Lake District apart from the most beautiful scenery, fantastic walking and climbing and contrary to popular belief it doesn't actually rain here all that often!
To start the ball rolling :-

Langdale View Guest House is one of the older mid 19thC properties in Bowness with its own private car park and garden with summer house for our guests to use. We are situated only a few minutes walk from the centre of Bowness accessed by road or private gate through the garden. We are lucky enough to enjoy peaceful surroundings secluded at the end of a semi private road yet minutes from the town centre and 500m from the shores of Lake Windermere.
