9 things to definitely avoid when you visit Thanet Well in the Lake District

 

Thanet Well Lodge Retreat is surrounded by the countryside, and has to be honest, just awful views – I mean why would anyone want to wake up to the most hauntingly beautiful mountainous scenery?

Cumbria is full of pit-falls like this, you can be strolling along, turn a corner and bam! you’re faced with an outstanding bit of natural beauty, and who needs that?! So take a look through our list of things to make sure you avoid when you visit the Lake District…

 

1. do not visit penrith castle

Who needs to see a beautiful old, red castle anyway?


2. definitely avoid walby farm park

Who wants to see Sheep and farm animals running around and having fun?

5. avoid brougham castle at all costs

When you’ve seen one castle you’ve seen them all. Even when this one has outdoor games and a stunning river


6. definitely do not go to see derwentwater lake

A stunning lake with outstanding sunsets and nature walks? Not for you. Nope.


7. avoid grasmere

You will hate beautiful morning walks by the lake


8. do not climb scafell pike

Who goes to the Lake District to climb to the top of the world anyway? (I wouldn’t)


9. and finally, definitely do not take your dog

Your pupster will hate all those new smells, the fresh air, the beautiful views and the endless fields to run around in
