Popular both with school trips and anyone looking for activity holidays in the great outdoors, YHA Langdale is a rambling Victorian mansion owned by the National Trust. Standing in picturesque grounds between Elterwater and Grasmere, it’s ideal for walking and hiking holidays exploring the dramatic Langdale Pikes, or tackling the hills and valleys on a climbing or cycling holiday. Spend summer evenings on our balcony with great views of Windermere and Bowness. Enjoy cooler nights in the Great Hall in front of a roaring log fire. This friendly licensed hostel offers great home-cooked food.
