In 1969 the Lake District National Park Authority purchased thie Victorian country house, known as Brockhole,along with its vast grounds which overlook Lake Windermere. It became England's first National Park Visitor Centre

| The gardens are a delight to walk around and view whatever the time of the year. |

Thomas Mawson laid these gardens out for the Gaddum family, around 100 years ago.

| Brockhole, the house. The Gaddum family purchased the property in 1899 and added a series of west and south facing terraces which slope gently down toward Lake Windermere. |
