CRAFT BREWERIES WITHIN THE LAKE DISTRICT NATIONAL PARK

Even the smallest amount of alcohol during the day can go straight to the legs and make for a hellish afternoon in the saddle. But beer lovers cannot visit the Lake District without quaffing a few of the fine ales and lagers made by the wonderful little craft breweries scattered across the region. So collect a bottle or two to enjoy at the end of the day.

 Barngates Brewery in Ambleside uses water from the local beck.

 Bowness Bay Brewery names most of its beers after the boats on Windermere.

 The Coniston Brewing Company started up in 1995 in the 400 years old Black Bull Inn.

 Cumbrian Legendary Ales, now based at Hawskshead, started up at the Kirkstile Inn in Loweswater, which is now the brewery tap.

 Ennerdale Brewery is run from a farm and brews real ale using spring water from nearby Croasdale Fell.

 Hawkshead Brewery started in an old barn at Hawkshead in 2002 but rapidly outgrew it and moved to a new brewery based in Chadwick’s Mill, the old wood turning mill in Staveley where they have since added a beer hall.
