Where to stay

Set in the shadow of the Central Fells, The Yan

at Broadrayne Farm is the perfect place to return to when you’re weary from walking. Tuck into Cumbrian classics in the bistro, before heading back to your room to watch the stars shimmer over Silver How (rooms £320 for two nights; theyan.co.uk). Alternatively, Victorian

House, in the middle of Grasmere, is the epitome of modern-rustic style. You could also book a stay in its shepherd’s hut (above) overlooking the River Rothay (B&B from £149 per night; victorianhousehotel.co.uk).
