Discover Borrowdale's stunning landscapes and cosy retreats on an idyllic journey through the heart of Cumbria
Nestled within the lush folds of the Lake District, Borrowdale offers a quintessential escape into nature. Begin your adventure by hopping on a train to Penrith and catch the scenic bus that weaves its way through Keswick, heading south into these enchanting valleys.
With each mile, the dramatic fells start to unfold, revealing a landscape that has long inspired poets and painters alike.
Stepping off in the heart of Borrowdale, you’ll find yourself surrounded by towering peaks and tranquil waters. Don’t miss the chance to wander along the shores of Derwentwater, where gentle waves lap against ancient stone jetties.
For those eager to stretch their legs, the walk up to Catbells offers rewarding panoramic views – an amble not too challenging but utterly breathtaking.
After a day’s roaming, cosy up in one of the local pubs or tea rooms nestled in the villages of Grange or Rosthwaite. Here, you’ll find hearty Cumbrian fare, welcoming locals, and perhaps a tale or two about the area’s rich history.
As the day winds down, catch a return bus back to Keswick, enjoying the same beautiful scenery with the glow of twilight dancing on the hills.
