Riverview Apartment is based in the Ironworks Development, where still in situ is the 1711 blast furnace that was once used to make gun carriages, cannon balls and cannons. With historical monuments to the front of the building and the River Leven to the back, you really are steeped in rich Cumbrian culture! The River Leven runs from Windermere all the way to Morecambe bay, and is often used by kayakers due to its Grade Three rapids. If you are lucky you might also see jumping salmon! Backbarrow is set in the South Lakes Peninsula and is a perfect gateway to explore many popular attractions, the closest being the Haverthwaite steam railway. Take a leisurely train ride into Bowness-on-Windermere and witness the stunning landscape as you go. Just a 5-minute drive down the road and you are in Newby Bridge, popular for its fantastic riverside pubs and home to the Lakes Aquarium and Windermere Lake Cruises. Take a wonderful cruise across the largest lake in the UK over to the popular town of Ambleside. Beach 7 miles. Shop 7 miles, pub 6 miles and restaurant 520 yards.
