The Lake District is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, and Braithwaite is no exception. Wake up to the sight of rolling hills and the majestic Skiddaw mountain in the distance. The village is surrounded by a patchwork of fields, woodlands, and, of course, the serene Bassenthwaite Lake, which is just a short drive away.
Braithwaite is a gateway to a plethora of outdoor activities. Whether you're an avid hiker or a leisurely stroller, the area boasts a range of trails suitable for all levels of fitness. Don't miss the opportunity to conquer Skiddaw, one of England's highest peaks, or explore the enchanting Whinlatter Forest Park, home to various cycling trails and a Go Ape adventure course.
The market town of Keswick is a 5minute drive or a scenic walk away with shops, bars, restaurants, cafes, parks with tennis and crazy golf, attractions, cinema and the Theatre by the Lake. Leisurely cruises can be enjoyed on Derwentwater or hire a rowing boat and explore on your own.
Hill Cottage nestles on the edge of the village, yet within 100 yards of the village shop, and benefits from its own enclosed garden with views to the fells. Relax on an evening with a glass of wine, whilst watching the sun set over the fells and watch the local wildlife and birds that can regularly be seen visiting the garden.
