Walk down to Bassenthwaite Lake

Local walks
Short 25 Minutes

Enjoy a short 25 min walk directly from the hotel down to the picture perfect shores of Bassenthwaite Lake. Meander across fields and woodland to the enchanting St Begas Chapel. Past visitors have included Wordsworth and Tennyson and it is now a highly sought after wedding venue. The chapel sits adjacent to the Lake itself, take a paddle or go for a dip if you are brave, or simply take in the peaceful atmosphere and spectacular views of Skiddaw which provides the backdrop.

An easy mainly flat walk with the option of a circular route back to the hotel past Mirehouse and through Dodd Wood. (2.5 miles)
