Aquarium of the Lakes

Arnside Knott   
Arnside Knott is a limestone hill on the edge of Arnside that rises to 159 metres above sea leve (522ft). Now owned by the National Trust, the area is home to a wide variety of wild flowers and butterflies, and offers fine views over Morecambe Bay and the surrounding countryside.

Ashness Bridge   
Despite being one of the most photographed viewpoints in the Lake District, the view from Ashness Bridge, across Derwent Water to Keswick and Skiddaw is well worth seeing. Avoid the crowds by going early or late; that way sunrise or sunset will make your photograph all the more dramatic.
