The Norethern Lake District & Bassenthwaite Lake

The Northern Lakes are often regarded as the most beautiful area of the Lake District. Bassenthwaite Lake is situated between Keswick and Cockermouth and is overlooked by the Skiddaw mountain range. Herdwick Croft sits at the foot of the lake beside the River Cocker in a peaceful, yet very accessible, location.
