In the heart of Braithwaite village, it's one of the best places you could be based for your lake district holiday - experience a traditional lakeland village where you will be spoilt for choice with so many walk options from the door, village shop & 4 pubs/restaurants, 2 cafes and the popular market town of Keswick and Whinlatter mountain forest only 5 mins'/2 miles drive away.

Braithwaite is a walker's paradise - you can leave the car behind as so many walks can be started from your front door whether flat walks or taking on some of the famous Wainwright fells ranging from some of the more gentle to some harder challenges: Grisedale Pike, Barrow, Outerside, Causey Pike and the Coledale Horseshoe, sometimes called The Coledale Round, which can be shorter or longer depending on your preference. You can also walk into the beautiful Newlands Valley including to the ever-popular Catbells mountain or into Keswick via different routes (the quickest/most direct requires 2 crossings of the A66). There are woodland and lakeside walks nearby and the nearest lakes are Bassenthwaite Lake and Derwentwater with 6 other of the main lakes within 30 mins drive.
You can drive the Newlands Pass or Whinlatter Pass into the adjoining valley of the Lorton Vale with the lakes of Buttermere, Loweswater and Crummock Water.
