A little more information on Ulverston

Penny Bridge is a small, picturesque village located close to the River Leven and Lake District National Park. The idyllic Cumbrian village serves as a tranquil base for exploring an area renowned for its outdoor activities. The Britannina Inn pub provides a place to eat and drink after a day spent admiring the nearby waters and climbing one of the mountains. In the neighbouring village of Greenodd, there are several pubs, a shop, a post office, a bakery, a fish and chip shop, and the excellent Handmade Ice Cream Company. The ancient market town of Ulverston, located in the centre of the Furness peninsula, is also nearby. Its mazelike cobblestone streets are home to a variety of shops, pubs, and leisure facilities, as well as the only Laurel and Hardy museum in the world. Penny Bridge is also in close proximity to Coniston Water and Windermere, where you can cruise on the lakes or explore the surrounding mountains on foot. From here, you can climb The Old Man of Coniston, Scafell Pike, and Claife Heights, among others! From Penny Bridge, you can also reach the beautiful Furness Coast with its miles of wild and varied landscapes, pristine beaches, and exceptional bird watching opportunities. Holker Hall and Gardens, the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway, the Lakes Aquarium, and the Lakeland Motor Museum are additional local attractions. With so much to see and do, Penny Bridge is a wonderful place to visit.
