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.

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.

Isle bridge

Highlight • Historical Site

Isel Bridge, located near Setmurthy in the northern Lake District, is an elegant Grade II-listed bridge that spans the River Derwent. Built in 1812 to replace an older bridge dating from 1691, it consists of three segmental arches and two piers of calciferous and pink sandstone, with a solid parapet and saddleback covering.
The bridge is situated in a conservation area and is a popular passage for walkers and cyclists, including as part of the Allerdale Ramble and routes to Watch Hill and Setmurthy Common. Its location offers beautiful views of the surrounding hills and valleys, and it's a peaceful place to stop when touring the western Lake District.

Hewthwaite Hall

Highlight • Historical Site

Hewthwaite Hall is a characterful 16th-century farmhouse in Setmurthy, Cumbria, notable for its robust architecture and rich historical details. The whitewashed stone façade with its raised greenslate roof and gabled gables reflects the architectural style of the late Tudor period, enhanced by ornate flush quoins and sculpted elements such as the royal coat of arms above the entrance. This regional heritage building is harmoniously nestled within a rural setting overlooking the Caldbeck Fells.

Wordsworth House and Garden

Highlight • Monument

Wordsworth House rises majestically on Main Street in Cockermouth, a charming town on the edge of the Lake District. Built around 1745, the house reflects the understated grandeur of Georgian architecture: a perfectly symmetrical façade of sand-colored bricks, tall rectangular windows with classically framed woodwork, and an ornate yet understated doorway that evokes the sense of order and proportion characteristic of this period. The poet William Wordsmouth was born here in 1770.
