Brantwood

John Ruskin's home Brantwood in the Lake District is a great destination for a day trip from Roeburnscar
--enjoy swimming or canoeing in the lake and end the day having cake and tea in the cafe there

An Autumn Visit to Larch Cottage

Larch Cottage is just under an hour's drive from Roeburnscar . It is a plant nursery like no other--designed in a Roman/Italinate style it has a wonderful cafe and Art Barn, fantastic statues and gargoyles, and the plants are good too.

Deer

This cheeky deer knows it's in friendly territory...you are almost always going to see deer in our woods if you are a quiet walker.

Zanzibar Kangas

The red kanga in the flat sitting room says: "You don't have love then you forget what life has done for you"

The blue kanga in the flat bedroom says : " Be grateful for opportunity but don't feel sorry it's not there"

View towards Ingleborough

For more links about Ingleborough and Ingleton go to Backsbottom blog. During the summer Maiden Bridge Studio is open to visitors. It is set amongst beautiful scenery like below and the studios are converted stone outbuildings---well worth a visit and only 10 minutes from Roeburnscar unless you get lost amongst meandering tiny roads which are prevalent in this part of Lancashire .

A Trip to the Seaside

 There are wonderful walks near Roeburnscar around Morecambe Bay--just make sure you avoid the dangerous quicksands . After heading towards Carnforth, go towards Warton then Silverdale. There's
Wolf House Gallery  and the cafe next door for tasty food. Also Leighton Moss , a great RSPB reserve is in this area.
