Thank you for an experience from the past. A lovely old fashioned single screen cinema. Very friendly with complimentary tea and coffee before the film. Excellent value compared to some of the modern multi screen cinemas these days. Always love going to the Alhambra.

Great day canoeing and ghyll scrambling with Jack. Had a full tour of Derwent water in the morning, great views and visited a few of the islands. Ghyll scrambling in the afternoon was great fun. Jack explained everything really well and made sure everyone felt safe and had a lot of fun.

Mirehouse & Gardens

Lovely grounds open to visitors for things to do on a full day out, set in a stunning location between Skiddaw and Bassenthwaite Lake. Visitors of all ages welcome to enjoy, lakeside scenery, and peaceful gardens. The Poetry Walk links the literary connections to Mirehouse in the beautiful terraced gardens. The tranquil Bee Garden in home to plants and flowers particularly selected to entice bees and butterflies and provides plenty of space for quiet reflection.

Currently only the grounds are open to walk around. Tickets can be purchased over the road at Dodd Wood tea room (£4 per adult and you get a map with a detailed walk route and information). It’s a fairly flat loop down the drive, around the gardens, house and grounds down to the lake and back. Not too long so very inclusive for families. Fairly well maintained. The house itself isn’t much to look at from the outside but the grounds are still very much worth a visit if you would like a non-strenuous walk.

Excellent afternoon gyll scrambling with Sam and Dana - highly recommend. Great fun and the staff made myself and family ( including two kids) at ease and made it a fun and friendly afternoon out. Sam was a great host and kept everyone involved within the group ! Would definitely do again! Thank you.
