About The Location
Levens Village is situated 10 mins from J36 / M6, just off the A590 & 6 miles South of Kendal. The village has a super Village Shop, 2 Churches, tennis courts and the very popular The Hare & Hounds Inn.
Rawsons is situated just outside the village 5 mins off the A590, along a private road.
The Lyth Valley Road (A5074) will take you to Bowness on Windermere in just 25 mins, from here you can take the ferry to Hawkshead, Coniston etc.
The A590/A591 will take you to Windermere in 23 mins, and on to Ambleside, Keswick etc.
In the opposite direction, the A590 will take you towards the Southern tip of Lake Windermere via Newby Bridge (20 mins). Here you can choose to drive to Hawkshead/Coniston etc or continue on to Ulverston/Broughton in Furness etc (West Cumbria)
In every direction, you will find a great choice of restaurants, pubs, bars & cafes.
Attractions are abundant and include Sizergh Castle, Levens Hall & Gardens, The Windermere Lake Cruises that sail between Ambleside at the North, or the Lake and Lakeside at the Southern end where you will also find the Lakes Aquarium and the Haverthwaite Steam Railway.
The central location makes Rawsons ideal for guests who wish to head further into the Lakes towards Coniston Water and the Coniston Fells or head to the Western coast via Ulverston/Barrow and Peil Island.
