Approximately 12 million visitors come to the Lake District each year. Many of these will come from the urban areas to the south and will drive along the shore of Windermere towards Ambleside. As they do they will pass Brockhole and many will stop to enjoy its attractions and find out more about the area. The Lake District National Park is England's largest National Park and includes Scafell Pike - its highest mountain.
The house and gardens were designed and built in the 1890s. Brockhole today has a good adventure playground, an excellent café, beautiful gardens and trees, space to play and sit, lake shore access and a ferry link to Ambleside.
Entrance is free, but car parking will cost £1 per hour.
