Cumbria

How great to be back to Midlands, visiting Peak District, Cumbria and Yorkshire.

After an amazing weekend filled with music, dance and connection, we directed our steps up North, to Cumbria. As I discovered a great spot to stay and rest, Pine Lake Resort in Lancashire, I booked a 6 people Scandinavian style lodge.

It was such a great experience as the houses beautiful location by the lake, gave us the sense of relaxation, stillness and calm. The visit to the Wellness Centre for a swim and sauna (both dry and steamy) added the extra opportunity to unwind and finally have a great sleep in a giant double bed which sheets were super soft. Look them up below.

On the first morning, after a stroll by the lake, we went to the near by town of Lancaster to visit their plant based cafe the Herbarium. Oh, we were so so hungry and their menu did prove not to disappoint! I loved the Mermaid Matcha Latte with cream! The food was fresh, portions generous and flavors exciting! Cakes a bit too sweet, to my taste, but this is personal preference.

As the film Brief Encounter was filmed in the train station of the nearby town Carnforth, I though it would be a great idea to have a romantic picture taken there. Have you watched that film from 1945?

Next stop was an enchanted forest, with rock formations covered in moss, full of sleeping giants and fairies, which led us to the Fairy Steps- a very narrow steps allowing to squeeze down and reach the other part of the forest. You can find this place in Arnside and Silverdale AONB. Interestingly, there were many fallen trees and we wondered why. I discovered that the ground is made of rocks and trees couldn’t root deep enough to grow tall. The same in life, you need to stay grounded and rooted to grow tall and reach high.

For the sunset I took us to Jack Scout, an incredible beach overlooking a quiet bay. The heavy fog was present in the air all day, no wind, no movement of the air. The sea was so amazingly still. What we experienced can not be described. The sight was like from another planet! You couldn’t see the line of horison as the sky blended in with the sea, creating this feeling of tranquility and peace.

Bajkowy czas w Cumbria rozpoczelismy w Pine Lake Resort gdzie wynajelismy piekny domek nad jeziorem. Wiele do zobaczenia jest w tej okolicy, mozna wyskoczyc do Forest of Bowland, gdzie sa wodospady i jaskinie, mozna zwiedzic slynne Yorkshire Dales, albo pozostac blisko lini brzegowej i wybrac sie do Arnside and Silverdale AONB. My zachwycilismy sie Wrozkowymi Schodkami, ktore prowadza pomiedzy dwoma skalami, a takze miejscem wiodokowym Jack Scout. Nawet w styczniu, kiedy mgla unosi sie w powietrzu caly dzien, moze tu byc pieknie, ciekawie i urokliwie. Polecam serdecznie! A jesli chodzi o weganskie jedzonko, to kawiarnia Herbarium serwuje piekne i wyjatkowo smaczne posilki.
