Ouse Bridge and View of Bassenthwaite Lake

Highlight • Viewpoint

From this delightful little bridge and its surroundings at the northern end of Bassenthwaite is a wonderful view of the North and North Western Lakeland Fells. Bassenthwaite's location in the north of the national park makes it quieter than the likes of Ullswater, Derwent Water and Windermere. However, it is technically the only lake in the Lake District, the others being meres and waters.

Bassenthwaite Lake

Highlight • Viewpoint

One of the many stunning lakes in the Lake District, Bassenthwaite stretches for 4 miles (6.4 km) amongst the hills. There are no major settlements on the lake, instead you will find The Lakes Distillery serving spirits, a few pubs, and Bassenthwaite Sailing Club. The lake is also home to the vendace, a rare and endangered fish which is only found in Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite.

Comments

July 26, 2023,Ouse Bridge – Lake Destillerie mit Umweg

The round proposed by Komoot was nice on the one hand, but: The paths were sometimes no longer recognizable and, above all, there was no opportunity to plow our dog through many "meadow borders". Nevertheless, a nice round with a nice finish in the distillery.
