Fell Foot Nt

Visitors today or yesterday may have noticed this huge crane on the shoreline - it's been bringing in the new decking for our historic boathouses, as part of our Heritage Lottery Funded restoration project.

We've teamed up with Lakeland Orienteering Club and are hosting another FREE drop in workshop tomorrow (Wed 20th). Have a go on our indoor challenge grid or our timed outdoor competition, plus there's crafts for little ones. Drop into the Active Base between 10am-3pm.

Would you like to work on the shoreline of England's largest lake? We've got some brilliant job opportunities here at Fell Foot in our membership, retail, food and beverage and Active Outdoors teams:

Eating out will never be the same again. Our pizzas will be made before your eyes in our wood-fired oven on the shores of Windermere. All you need to bring is your picnic blanket...!

Get a taste of orienteering at one of our workshops this February half term. Have a go at designing your own orienteering markers and navigate your way to a new hobby.
Tots can enjoy painting acorn cut outs for display around the park or to take home to make your own orienteering course in your garden. Whilst older children can get to grips with the basics of orienteering on our challenge grid in the Active Base or have a go at the outdoor courses in our timed competition. These are drop-in sessions throughout the day from 10-3pm.

Happy half term! If you're visiting from Ambleside or Windermere the main road down to Fell Foot (A592) is now OPEN until Sun 24 Feb. We're keeping our fingers crossed for good weather for our orienteering workshops and Volunteer Taster Day - the week ahead looks dry at least! More info on orienteering here > http://bit.ly/2GJeCku

If you've ever thought about volunteering, then this Saturday, 16th Feb, we're running a Volunteer Taster Day, 2-4pm. From Youth Rangers to fundraising and photography, there's loads to get involved with here at Fell Foot. To book your place or for more information please contact Kelley at kelley.sprostonheath@nationaltrust.o rg.uk

If you're not blown away by the winds today then you will be by this stunning photo from Fell Foot. We'll be open again tomorrow so you can get a picture to beat this one!

Due to severe weather being forecast we have decided to close the park from 1pm today and we will reopen on Sunday morning at 9am for the safety of our visitors. This means parkrun has been cancelled tomorrow. We look forward to welcoming you back bright and early on Sunday morning 🌬💦 Stay safe out there!

If you're planning to visit us from the north via the A592, this is the diversion recommended by United Utilities. The work is scheduled until late March but it's worth noting that the A592 will reopen during February half term (Fri 15 - Sun 24 Feb)

Feeling the chill? Don’t worry, the sun is out at Fell Foot and it’s going to stay for a while. Gorgeous views and gorgeous brews are available in our Potting shed café and the sponge cake is divine! #BrewWithaView #LookingAfterSpecialPlaces

It's another beautiful day today at Fell Foot. Have you taken any snowy photos from around the park or of the view lately? If so we'd love to see them! (Credit to our Membership Recruiter Imogen for this one!)

Just a reminder that we are still open while the A592 above us is shut. Come and visit while the weather is crisp and beautiful - there are so many photogenic opportunities at the minute! Get here via the A590 (Newby Bridge). (Photo credit Karen Tickle)

What a relaxing place! Was great to take our toddler and baby for a blissful couple of hours.

Fantastic park for kids and great scenery. Highly recommend it.

Absolutely breathtaking views with lots of great open space to burn off some energy for the kids plus beautiful waters to enjoy too. Hubby even braved a swim today with our 4 year old joining in for a paddle too. Great morning making the most of the sunshine and will definitely be back for more!
