Food scene

Excellent wine. During the day Shills is a delli as well as cafe. If you're after a special or more unusual wine this is where to go. In the evening they do great tapas and cocktails upstairs.

Absolutely my favourite ice cream! Made fresh from the milk of the farms own cows. This an incredible cafe with exceptional home made food. Can be incorporated into a walk round the lake or a trip over Honister pass into the beautiful Borrowdale valley, Derwent water and Keswick.

Birth place of William Wordsworth. Fascinating example of how life was lived. During term time The house is peopled by friendly, knowledgeable guides, and on Wednesdays and Saturdays in term-time and throughout the school holidays, the maid-of-all-work is cooking in the kitchen – and always keen to stop for a chat.

Fantastic opportunity to see go underground for a mine tour. The via ferata is lots of fun if you have a head for heights! Lovely shop and cafe if you need a sit down after. Honister a great place to head off into the fells from as you get a head start with the altitude! The green slate from the Honister mines is highly sought after & forms the roof of Buckingham palace.
