The Northern Lakes: A Journey Through Wild Beauty

The Lake District, a place of rugged mountains, shimmering lakes, and charming villages, holds a special place in the hearts of many. But while the southern regions often steal the limelight, the north offers a unique blend of adventure and tranquillity that’s truly captivating. Join me as we journey through some of the highlights of this enchanting region.

Keswick: Adventure Hub and Market Town Charm

Our journey begins in Keswick, a bustling market town nestled on the shores of Derwentwater.

This vibrant hub is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, with hiking, climbing, kayaking opportunities. Take a boat trip across the lake, explore the quirky shops and cafes, or lose yourself in the fascinating exhibits at the Keswick Museum and Art Gallery.

For a breathtaking panorama, ascend Latrigg Fell, a moderate climb rewarded with stunning views of the surrounding peaks.

Penrith: Gateway to the Eden Valley

Heading east, we arrive in Penrith, a historic market town with a rich heritage.

Explore the ruins of Penrith Castle, delve into local history at the Penrith Museum, or wander through the charming streets lined with independent shops and traditional pubs. Just a short drive away lies Ullswater, the second-largest lake in the Lake District.

Here, you can cruise along the lake, hike to the iconic Aira Force waterfall, or tackle the challenging ascent of Helvellyn, one of the highest peaks in England.

Buttermere & The Newlands Valley: Tranquility and Dramatic Landscapes

Venturing southwest, we enter the realm of Buttermere and the Newlands Valley.

Buttermere, a small village nestled beside its namesake lake, is a picture of tranquillity. Hike the scenic lakeshore path, marvel at the towering Haystacks peak, or simply relax and soak in the peaceful atmosphere. The Newlands Valley, with its picturesque villages and cascading waterfalls, offers a quieter escape.

Explore the charming hamlets of Little Town and Stair, hike to the summit of Causey Pike for panoramic views, or discover the hidden beauty of Moss Force waterfall.

Cockermouth: Wordsworth’s Birthplace and Artistic Haven

Our journey concludes in Cockermouth, a charming town steeped in history and culture.

This was the birthplace of William Wordsworth, one of England’s most celebrated poets. Visit Wordsworth House and Garden, explore the Jennings Brewery, or wander through the captivating galleries and studios showcasing local artists.

With its cobbled streets, historic buildings, and vibrant cultural scene, Cockermouth is a fitting end to our exploration of the northern Lake District.

Beyond the Highlights:

This is just a glimpse of what the North Lake District offers. From the tranquil shores of Bassenthwaite Lake to the rugged beauty of Borrowdale, there’s something to captivate every visitor.

Whether you seek adventure, tranquillity, or a cultural escape, the northern Lakes promise an unforgettable experience.

So, pack your bags, lace up your boots, and prepare to be enchanted by the wild beauty of this captivating region.
