THE LAKE DISTRICT
About
The Lake District National Park is a stunning fusion of dramatic fells, towering mountains, crystal-clear rivers, and thundering waterfalls. With breathtaking views, expansive landscapes, shimmering lakes, and tranquil valleys, it’s a place of natural wonder. The charming towns of Ambleside and Windermere sit alongside the captivating Lake Windermere, offering the perfect base to explore this rugged, yet serene landscape that has inspired poets and artists for centuries. Just a three-hour train journey from central London, the Lake District is an ideal destination for a rejuvenating retreat.
VENUE
Silverholme is a luxurious, eco-friendly 5* Georgian manor house set on the tranquil shores of Lake Windermere, just outside the charming town of Ambleside. Nestled within the 5,000-acre, family-run Graythwaite Estate in the heart of the English Lake District, the house offers unrivaled panoramic views and private access to the lake. Surrounded by beautifully manicured parkland and gardens, Silverholme provides the perfect setting for relaxation and rejuvenation. With its breathtaking location and elegant, opulent atmosphere, this retreat venue promises an unforgettable experience.
