Allan Bank and Grasmere

Allan Bank is a National Trust property that is known for the red squirrels that live in its grounds. If you want to see the squirrels then this is a good place that is accessible and you can be inside the house and see them without trying to access a woodland trail. Honesty box for teas & coffees and an accessible toilet. It is a NT property and they do charge to get in. They have some activities (arts & crafts) for the children (and adults if you wanted) but the main draw is the squirrels. As my mum had never seen them before we were happy to pay for this, but if you go there expecting more you might be disappointed. We aren't members of NT.
