Overview
Set in the heart of the Lake District, Glaramara is surrounded by some of the finest mountains and lakes in the country. Understandably this is one of our popular locations, occupying a picture-perfect setting which is the envy of every walker. From the front door of the centre, there is a massive range of walking to choose from and the food is great too! The walking is stupendous; from the lofty heights of Great Gable right down to the diminutive Castle Crag, the beautiful Derwentwater, the superb cafes throughout Borrowdale and the traditional Lakeland hostelries! Plus, it’s springtime too which is arguably the finest of the seasons to visit and the hour has gone forward so we don’t have to rush back!

Travel & Stay
Glaramara, is an outdoor centre purpose built for walkers at the foot of the Borrowdale Valley in the heart of the beautiful Lake District National Park. The centre boasts an unrivalled aspect located in a commanding position in the beautiful vale of Borrowdale. This centre has continued to improve its accommodation and for this weekend we are using a mixture of ensuite rooms. The are some shared rooms, some small single rooms and some small double rooms for sole occupancy and all rooms have complimentary tea/coffee making facilities There is a well-stocked bar and comfortable lounges, so you can relax in the evenings. Their catering has an excellent reputation amongst walkers for good wholesome food, the portions are plentiful and the packed lunches satisfying! Then, should you have any excess energy, there is a cosy bar, or three excellent country pubs within walking distance for an evening drink!
By Car: Make your way to Junction 40 on the M6 (faster than travelling through the Lakes via Windermere/Ambleside). Depart M6 J40 on the A66 (West) for 14.9 miles towards Keswick.
At the first signpost for Keswick, turn left and travel down the hill for 0.5 miles to a T junction. Here, turn right and follow the road down the hill and through Keswick to a mini-roundabout. Here, turn left signposted Borrowdale B5289.
Follow signs for the B5289 Borrowdale for approximately 7.5 miles towards Seatoller via Rosthwaite.
Approximately 150 yards before Seatoller, the Glaramara Centre is set back from the road on the right-hand side and is the big Swiss looking property. If you reach the Yew Tree Inn and/or start to go steeply uphill, you’ve gone too far!
By Train or Bus: The nearest main station to reach would be Penrith and then buses can be caught to Keswick and down Borrowdale - however, these become less frequent in the evenings!
