After a fantastic week in Scotland it was time to head home to London. We decided to make another road trip out of the drive stopping off at
the Lake District, a Victorian seaside town, a monkey forest and a sheep dairy over a couple of days.
1. Midtown Milkhouse
3 Hodden Ct, Caldbeck, Wigton CA7 8EL

Our first stop in the Lake District was Midtown Milkhouse where you can get farm fresh milk from a vending machine and turn it into a milkshake!
2. The Grasmere Gingerbread Shop
Church Cottage, Grasmere, Ambleside LA22 9SW
www.grasmeregingerbread.co.uk/
Our next stop was the lovely town of Grasmere to try the famous gingerbread!
The drive down passed some gorgeous scenery that the camera does not do justice.
The queue for the gingerbread was long but this gave us time to soak in the atmosphere and admire the shop which used to be
the village school for over 220 years.
Inside the shop they sell a variety of ginger themed goods and the people there were super friendly.
3. Cartmel Village Shop (for sticky toffee pudding)
Parkgate House, 1 The Square, Cartmel LA11 6QB
www.cartmelvillageshop.co.uk/
Our last stop was the delicous town of Cartmel.
Not only does the village boast to being the birthplace of sticky toffee pudding but it's also a lovely place to wander around.
It's also home to 2* l'enclume aswell as a host of other places which make it a foodies paradise.
4. Rogan and Co
Devonshire House, Devonshire Square, Cartmel, Grange-over-Sands LA11 6QD

For dinner we booked the supposidly more "casual" Rogan and Co.
After dinner we headed down to Morecombe Bay where we spent the night.
5. The Morecambe Hotel
25 Lord St, Morecambe LA4 5HX
www.themorecambehotel.co.uk/
Morecombe Bay is a classic Victorian seaside town which is not as popular as it's more famous neighbours making it less crowded.
It made me feel nostalgic for those day trips to the seaside with my parents when I was a kid.
6. Trentham Monkey Forest
Trentham Estate, Stone Rd, Tittensor, Stoke-on-Trent ST12 9HR

7. Bevistan Dairy
Valley View Farm, Turvey Rd, Carlton, Bedfordshire MK43 7LH
