Broadness cottage offers
Lake District walkers the ability to leave their cars at the property
and head out on to the Skiddaw mountain range (pictured above). Skiddaw
is one of the highest fells inn England and commands incredible Lakeland
views over Bassenthwaite, Borrowdale, Newlands and Keswick. The walking
route from Bassenthwaite is both picturesque and peaceful being well
away from the main busy route over Latrigg from Keswick.
Other nearby mountain walks include Blencathra, Helvellyn, the Borrowdale
fells, Coledale Horseshoe at Braithwaite and many more. You will find
that most
of the Northern fells are within a short drive.
The Lake District has a variety of walks for all abilities - from popular
fell walks over the famous Lakeland fells to more relaxing, less strenuous
walks around the lakes and villages of Cumbria.
Broadness cottage is within close proximity to many of the stunning
Lake District lakes - Bassenthwaite Lake (150 yards), Derwentwater (5
miles), Thirlmere (8 miles), Buttermere (11 miles), Crummock Water (13
miles). All the lakes have good accessibility and parking and all have
featured walks which are relatively easy.
Broadness Farm have grounds which run down to the edge of Bassenthwaite
Lake therefore visitors to the cottage are invited to walk down to the
lake shore and enjoy the stunning views. The local Whinlatter Ospreys,
which visit Whinlatter forest annually, often fly and feed over Bassenthwaite
Lake.
