Hop on a bus to Grange Bridge where Cumbrian charm meets riverside adventures and cosy country pubs
Picture this: you’re on a scenic bus journey through rolling Cumbrian hills when suddenly, there it is – Grange Bridge, a proper little gem tucked away beside the River Derwent. No need for a car when the local buses drop you right in the heart of this charming spot.
Fancy a ramble? The village makes a brilliant base for walkers, with footpaths leading straight from the bus stop into gorgeous countryside. Follow the river path for an easy stroll, or tackle the fells if you’re feeling adventurous. The best bit? You can reward yourself with a hearty meal at the local pub afterwards.
Getting here couldn’t be easier. Regular buses connect from Keswick, and if you’re coming from further afield, hop on a train to Penrith then catch a bus through the stunning Lake District scenery. Some visitors even arrive by boat along Derwentwater before catching the bus over.
Whether you’re after a peaceful riverside picnic, a proper ramble through ancient woodlands, or just fancy exploring a traditional Cumbrian village without the hassle of parking, Grange Bridge delivers. Plus, travelling by bus means you can enjoy that second pint guilt-free!
