Staveley sits 4 miles east of Windermere with attractions, restaurants and pubs. Benefiting from the bypass, the village has grown in popularity over recent years from visitors looking for a peaceful base to return to after a days sightseeing but with easy travel options for exploration and adventure. Being on the Oxenholme to Windermere railway line, take the 7 minute train ride to Windermere to wander the shops, enjoy a bite to eat and sample the nightlife. Explore further afield by continuing your journey on the Stagecoach busses to Kendal, Grasmere, Ambleside and Keswick or wander down to Lake Windermere and take a lake cruise to Lakeside or Ambleside. The River Kent meanders along the edge of the village for leisurely walks or the Kentmere and Longsleddale Valleys (the inspiration behind Postman Pat) are easily reached for hikes rewarded with lakeland vistas. The village has a Spar shop for those last minute groceries and the renowned Eagle and the Child inn serves delicious home cooked meals.
