A Note from Rob – Lakeland Hotel Manager
Hi there – I’m Rob, and I manage The Lakeland Hotel here in Kendal. When I’m not helping guests check in, I’m usually off on an adventure with my kids. This area’s packed with brilliant, easy-to-reach day trips – here are our two family favourites.
1. Morecambe Bay & Grange Promenade
📍 20 minutes’ drive or 30 minutes on the X6 bus
The views over Morecambe Bay are just stunning, especially in the evening. We love walking the Grange Promenade, watching the tide, and grabbing a cuppa from one of the little cafés nearby.
2. Paddle Boarding at Fell Foot Park (National Trust)
📍 Just 20 minutes’ drive from the hotel
This one’s a proper day out. Fell Foot Park, on the southern edge of Lake Windermere, is perfect for paddle boarding, picnics, and letting the kids loose.
“This is us at Fell Foot last July – my youngest lasted about 5 minutes standing on the paddleboard before taking a splash! It’s become a weekend favourite.” – Rob
Rob’s Family Day Out Essentials:
Make sure you’re fully prepared with all the essentials to keep the fun rolling! Pack your towels and wetsuits if you’ve got them ready for some splashy adventures, a warm flask of tea to keep spirits high, and a football or frisbee to spark some lively games. Don’t forget a bit of change for the café – perfect for grabbing delicious treats and refuelling for more family fun!
