How to make the most of a 2 day, 1 night visit to the lakes at Springbank ?

[snowboard66]

Thinking of spending 2 days in the Lakes with DS1 who is 6. I will be on my own as DH cannot get time off work and DS2 will be in nursery ! We live in the North West so don't have that far to travel there.
Any places to visit / walks to recommend would be gratefully received !! DS is quite active - likes walks, riding his bike, adventure playgrounds and the odd stately home/museum. We just don't want to end up spending lots of time stuck in the car so any advice about where to base ourselves would be helpful too.Thanks in advance.

here has a nice playground and some paths.

There is a nice walk up Brantfell starting in Bowness, and also a fab walk where you catch the ferry over the Lake and walk round Far Sawrey then back over on the ferry. There's also the Beatrix Potter attraction in Bowness.

Have a great time.
