I am due to feature images of Monet's house and gardens shortly, the lake and lily pads prominent. On the same hard drive I discovered images of one of the Lake District's finest hotels, Linthwaite House. The hotel is divine, the hillside tarn sensational. So, before France, a Cumbrian spectacle you may not be familiar with.
 |
| Linthwaite House Hotel in the fells above Bowness has its own private lake or tarn. There is an easy walk around. |
 |
| The colours of autumn with the fiery red of the maples adding their special glow. |
 |
| The heuchera is on fire. |
 |
| One of my favourite photographs. Claude Monet could well have moved house had he visited Cumbria. |
 |
| Windermere is beautiful in its own right and over the years ornamental trees have added to its glory. |
 |
| The hotel has a well maintained walk through the woodland to the tarn. |
 |
| I think I stood on one of the benches to obtain this view of the lake. |
 |
| I suspect this is a view of the dam required to capture this particular chunk of paradise. |
 |
| And at the head of the tarn is a summer house that has been warm, in my recollection, even in the heart of winter. All it takes is a little bit of sun. |
