A first visit to Brockhole the Lake District Visitors Centre.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On the east side of Lake Windermere. I noticed a Tree Top Treks adventure play section had opened up, a bit like a mini GoApe and with Thomas being too young for GoApe I fancied trying it. They allow younger kids on at Tree Top Treks. Unfortunately we couldn’t go up today as I was on my own with both kids and you have to accompany them with an adult, however we’ll be back.<\/p>\n

We took the opportunity to check out the grounds and playground, see some photos below for a quick tour.<\/p>\n
