EMMA About You

GABBI About You

I have lived in the Lakes for 20 years having moved up here with my family from Leicestershire at the age of 10. I spent 17 years living in Pullwoods, just outside Ambleside before moving to Windermere. I love being able to make the most of what is on my doorstep including walking my dog, paddle boarding, wild swimming and other water sports. On my days off you’ll find me volunteering at Animal Rescue Cumbria.

I moved to the Lakes in 2017 from County Durham. I used to visit the Lakes at least four times a year with my family growing up and it has always been my favourite place. In 2019 I travelled America with my partner and made memories that will last a lifetime. We decided to return to living in the Lakes as it is our favourite place in England. Trying new walks is a favourite for me, especially ones with a good pub at the end! The peacefulness and beauty still amazes me!

Favourite Lake District walk

Favourite Lake District walk

High Dam at Newby Bridge is one of my favourite walks, no matter what time of the year the views across the dam are always stunning. I can also often be found walking up and around School Knott with my dog, Dolly. On a clear day, you can see right down the Lake towards Waterhead.

I recently climbed Coniston Old Man in the snow and ice. As scary as it was in some parts, it is definitely my favourite walk to date. The views at almost every point are amazing but the feeling when you reach the top of any mountain is the best and makes all the hard work getting there worth it! I am really looking forward to doing this walk again in the summer. My mission for 2021 is to try and walk as many Wainwrights as possible.

Go-to spot for food and drink in the Lakes Drunken Duck inn, despite moving away from Pullwoods it is still my favourite places to go for a great pub lunch with friends and family. For brunch, it’s got to be Homeground in Windermere, their bacon sandwiches are the best! Favourite things about living and working in the Lake District The scenery! The views on my way to work are beautiful and never look the same. I love everything about what the Lakes as to offer.

Go-to spot for food and drink in the Lakes The Priest Hole in Ambleside serves amazing food and is such a lovely atmosphere, although there are so many beautiful pubs and restaurants around the Lake District it’s hard to pick just one! Favourite things about living and working in the Lake District I love living in the Lakes and hope to stay here for many years to come. I lived in Hawkshead for the first two years and it will always be my favourite village. I have had the most amazing experiences so far and have 22
