Keswick
is rightly seen by many as the Adventure Capital of the Lake District.
If you can do it outdoors - you can do it around Keswick!
We can
help plan your holiday with contacts with many of the adventure
centres in the area; whether its kayaking, climbing, guided walks,
ghyll scrambling or riding; there is something here for everyone.
We can
advise
on walks, cycle routes, restaurants and shops, recommend touring
routes & picnic spots.
Brackenrigg
is situated in the heart of some wonderful walking. There are gentle
routes from the door around Naddle & St. John's-in-the -Vale,
and for the more adventurous we can recommend routes up Helvellyn
& Blencathra.
Brackenrigg
enjoys a magnificent location in the very heart of the Lake District,
and yet only a couple of miles from Keswick-on-Derwentwater, a lovely
Victorian market town with plenty of shops, an excellent Saturday
market, restaurants, pubs, museums, a magnificent theatre, cinema,
leisure pool, golf course & climbing wall.
Wordsworth's
Dove Cottage is at Grasmere (about 10 mins' drive), the 4000 year-old
Castlerigg Stone Circle is a mile-and-a-half away, and there's an
Iron Age fort on Raven Crag behind Brackenrigg.
Derwentwater
launch and Ullswater Steamer both run all year round. And, of course,
there's plenty of opportunity for instructed climbing, sailing,
canoeing, ghyll-scrambling, horse-riding and cycling.
We can
also advise on great restaurants. Lakeland is justifiably famous
for its high quality cuisine.
