Very last minute we decided to venture up to Keswick, in between decorating and tidying and preparing for our annual inspection from Cumbria Tourism. We ventured out for a little walk, we walked through town over to Borrowdale woods, this runs at the side of the A591 so was a little noisy but still teaming with wildlife. The walk was just short of an hour. We managed to walk back via the park where we sat and had a picnic and then my daughter spent a good 1/2 hour on the newly refurbished play park.
We then returned back to Fell Tops, where we finished decorating and a completing the inventory checklist for the inspection the next day by Cumbria Tourist Board. Gaynor from CTB visited and no recommendations were made so we passed with flying colours. She was saying that although the majority of business in Keswick/Ambleside were doing well as a whole a lot in the surrounding villages/towns were struggling in particular Penrith. To counteract this they are holding a festival in November which will hopefully draw people to the town. So please when you visit Fell Tops as much as we appreciate you spending your hard earning money in Keswick please try and make the effort to go and visit attractions out of the town for a day.
