Who doesn’t visit Cat Bells when visiting Keswick or its surrounding villages. I lovely climb with a lovely view from Newlands or ascend via Little Town to Hause Gate and also visit Maiden Moor or even do a ridge route horse show and descend via Robinson’s for the more experienced walker.

One of my favourite lakes Just walk down a short way to friars crag for one of the best views The sight is like a panoramic view with mountains lake shapes and valleys see the island opposite and fills the senses with peace and beauty. Perfect when no one else is around though it is very popular. For even better treat visit in spring may time when sun is going down and the bottom of the lake is lit up with shades and colours reflecting in the water one of the most memorable sights you can see.

My wife (Judy) and I have just enjoyed a fantastic tour of the Keswick Brewery and tasting. Our host, Nigel, was quite superb. So enthusiastic and informative and so welcoming. An excellent visit and the samples of the ales were delicious. Can’t recommend this tour more. Only regret is that the beer is only sold in Cumbria but understandable. Can’t wait to return and sample some more and see the new Fox Tap bar open. Thanks Nigel and good luck from Tony and Judy Hodge of Salisbury.

10. B5289 Road
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 55 reviews
Reviewed By Suratrichard - Surat Thani, Thailand
The B5289 is much more than the Honister Pass although the Pass is probably the most exciting part. This wonderfully scenic road runs from Keswick to Lorton. Initially it runs alongside Derwentwater( there are several parking places) and affords great views of Catbells and the Lake. It carries on through Rosthwaite and Seatoller onto the Honister Pass. The Pass does have some steep sections ( 25%) and can be tricky in winter. It can also get very busy during the summer and at weekends. To add to the fun, sheep are often wandering about on the road. Passing the Honister slate quarry, superb views appear looking down towards the Buttermere valley. The road follows the beck and there are several parking places along the route. Eventually, the road reaches Gatesgarth ( car park available) and then runs alongside Buttermere to Buttermere village with more car parks and several places to eat and drink. Staying on the road through Buttermere, Crummock water comes into view and the left and again the are places to park. After Crummock the road leads to the Lorton area which is only a short drive from Cockermouth. This area has a number of good walks e.g. Around Buttermere or Crummock, Rannerdale and if wanting to go high, Haystacks is a good walk from Buttermere. Any time of the year there is so much to admire and if the road is passable in winter, there's no better sight than driving surrounded by snow covered fells. Occasionally some drivers think the road is a race track but fortunately the vast majority of drivers are not. An absolute must drive when visiting the lakes.
