As the season to get fit is still upon us, we thought we would share one of our favourite local walks. Dodd Summit sits majestically across Bassenthwaite Lake from us here at the Pheasant Inn and is an ideal walk for winter, taking only 2-3 hours with good paths but has enough of a lung-buster ascent to burn off a few calories and make you feel like it is doing you some good!
Christmas is a time for many traditions such as decorating the tree, hanging up stockings, making (and of course drinking!) mulled wine, giving presents and eating mince pies. One major tradition is the sending of Christmas cards which goes back to the Victorian Era with the first commercial Christmas card appearing in 1843.
We are delighted to have teamed up with the Lakes Distillery to offer all our guests complimentary distillery tours from now until the New Year.
It's been a tough week seeing so many people we know affected by storm Desmond. Fortunately the Pheasant Inn was not flooded and we only suffered some water in the cellar. This meant we were unable to serve draught beer for a few days but we are glad to say the beer is most definitely back on now!
