Bassenthwaite Lake is one of the largest bodies of water in England's Lake District National Park, located in Cumbria. Unusually for a body of water in the Lake District, Bassenthwaite Lake retains its designation as a "lake". The area is renowned for its peaceful atmosphere, breathtaking scenery, and a variety of wildlife. The lake is surrounded by picturesque farmland, woodland, and majestic fells, including Skiddaw, one of England's highest peaks.
There are many activities to enjoy around Bassenthwaite Lake. It is a popular spot for sailing and fishing, with a variety of fish species including trout, salmon, and pike. The lake is also part of a nature reserve and is well-known for being one of the locations where ospreys nest in England. Visitors can view these magnificent birds from the Osprey Viewpoint during the breeding season. Near the lake, you'll find the historic Mirehouse, a family-run house with beautiful gardens open to the public, and the Lakes Distillery, which offers tours and tastings.
Located in the northern part of the Lake District, Bassenthwaite Lake is within easy reach of several charming towns and other attractions. The bustling town of Keswick, known for its outdoor shops, local museums, and the Theatre by the Lake, is a short drive away. Cockermouth, the birthplace of William Wordsworth, is also nearby. Further afield, you can explore the serene beauty of Derwentwater, Buttermere, and Crummock Water. The villages of Grasmere and Rydal, associated with Wordsworth, and the hamlets of Near and Far Sawrey, linked to Beatrix Potter, provide more cultural experiences. With its natural charm and proximity to a range of attractions, Bassenthwaite Lake is an excellent base for exploring the Lake District.
