Search for Loughrigg holiday cottages and you’ll quickly discover Loughrigg Fell and Loughrigg Tarn. These are two primary reasons to come to the central Lake District.

Loughrigg Tarn was adored by Wordsworth and it even featured in his Epistle to George Howland Beaumont. This almost circular mountain lake has a certain magic that you’ll soon appreciate as he once did.

Loughrigg Fell is what draws the crowds though. And from the village you’ll wonder why this not-so-tall mountain achieves such acclaim. Yet up above the whitewashed cottages that adorn these lakeside hillocks, Loughrigg Fell climbs not to great heights but to proffer glorious panoramas across Langdale Pikes, Lake Windermere and Rydal Water.

When renting self-catering cottages in Loughrigg you’re also in a pivotal location close to Elterwater, Grasmere and Ambleside. Lake District walking holidays await, including the popular Loughrigg Fell circular walk using Ambleside as its base. Walk this way.
