RIVENDELL

Situated in the village of Bassenthwaite, a true Lakeland village which still has its pub, village green and three working farms, Rivendell offers comfortable accommodation for up to six people. 

Bassenthwaite is a wonderful starting point for hundreds of walks, either up the fells to Dash Waterfall and Skiddaw beyond, or along the shores of Bassenthwaite Lake.  There are also woods to explore and a river with ducks to feed.

The busy market town of Keswick is a 10-15 minute drive away with its outdoor shops, cafes, cinema, theatre and boating on Derwentwater Lake.  Cockermouth, the birthplace of the poet William Wordsworth, is 15 minutes in the opposite direction and has good antique shops, restaurants and river walks.
