Alan - the main accommodation providers are based in Keswick and Ambleside. Low level northern walks - latrigg and walla crag/ walla crag and Cat Bells/ Castle crag, Kings How and Great Crag from Grange. If Ambleside - try Loughrigg fell, Silver How, Blea Rigg and Tarn Crag. Another possibility is the Greenburn Horseshoe from Grasmere. Coniston - head for Holme fell, Tarn Hows, Black fell. Hope this helps, Henry
