The snow won’t last.
March has started snowy, windy and cold in many parts of the UK, but the snow won’t last. Here in the Lakes, around Grasmere, we’ve had very little snow, but it is cold and windy and there is no way that you would want to sit outside.
However, here are a few photos taken in April last year, to remind you that very soon the snow will have gone and good times will roll.
Brockstone terrace, view of Rydal Water
Here’s the view from the terrace looking to the south east, where you can see Rydal Water down below. Go on, pour the Prosecco!
View over Loughrigg and Grasmere fells
At last! The Prosecco has been poured. Sip and savour the view to the south west. You can see the Coniston Fells, and in the background the Langdale Pikes.

From Brockstone Grasmere Cottage you can walk in any direction. Here is a link to my article on 6 circular walks you can do from the door.
Boots off at the end of the walk
In spring, you’ll see lots of beautiful wild flowers and colourful local gardens. See more of these here.
