Blackwell has its own website at: www.blackwell.org.uk

Opened to the public in July 2001, Blackwell (1898-1900) is one of Britain's most important houses. It is a rare example of the Arts and Crafts Movement with wonderfully rich interiors that have survived almost entirely intact. Downstairs, displays of period furniture, objects and works of art complement the stunning original decoration; while upstairs there are changing exhibitions of the best contemporary and historical applied arts and crafts.

Designed by M H Baillie Scott between 1898 and 1900, Blackwell is an enormously important example of Arts and Crafts Movement architecture. The house stands high above Windermere looking across the lake to the Coniston fells.
