About the host
Hosted by Lee / Wendy Smith
Hi, my name Lee Smith and I help people achieve the best quality of life in terms of enhancing their health and fitness whilst managing any existing injuries or medical conditions. I formed Aspire4Health.com more than 17 years ago to fulfil that passion. Having studied for my BSc and MSc degrees at the highly respected Leeds Metropolitan University (Carnegie), my special interest is helping people optimise their health. As the ultimate health is a blend of not only physical wellbeing but also psychological wellbeing myself and Wendy have put together a holiday apartment retreat that is perfect for both quiet relaxation and active outdoor pursuits.
Why they chose this property
Both Wendy and I adore The Lake District and spend lots of our free time holidaying and having days out in The Lakes. We have been lucky enough to set up our own home from home in the peaceful South Lakes area of Backbarrow. A stone’s throw from Newby Bridge and nestled in the Leven Valley, Backbarrow is a great place to explore the Lake District National Park, the Cumbrian Coast and even The Yorkshire Dales National Park.
What makes this property unique
The apartment is a one bedroom duplex in the newly converted Ironworks Development at Backbarrow. Within walking distance you will find The Lake District Motor Museum, the historic Haverthwaite Railway Station and The Cliffhanger Escape Rooms. A short drive away is Beatrix Potter’s Hilltop, Hawkshead village and Windermere Cruises. Set within the spacious shared, riverside grounds the apartments are complemented by private parking, beautiful views of the river Leven and waterfalls. Within a 5 minute walk there is a lovely riverside bar and restaurant.
