OTHER WALKS and GARDENS
There are many local guide books and maps at Running Hare. Some of the maps are wipe-down plastic. It is your personal decision whether you would like to use them during coronavirus as they cannot be cleaned in the same way as other items in the house. We have removed all leaflets but you can get plenty from Windermere tourist information.
