Cumbria 2

Tuesday was a little overcast so after picking up leaflets at the Tourist Information we headed to Blackwell, an arts & crafts house built around the turn of the century. As well as an impressive architectural creation in its own right, the property has a small collection of ceramics and art from the same period. In fact we decided to acquire a smallish piece to take home in the shape of a vessel by James Hake. Since the weather brightened we headed for a walk up Brant Fell, overlooking Lake Windermere before then heading out to Troutbeck for another pub meal at The Queen's Head.
