Welcome to Borrowdale in the magnificent Lake District
Chapel Field is set in the heart of the Borrowdale Valley where the Cumbria Way crosses the Coast-to-Coast walk, with wonderful views of the surrounding fells. With two lovely bedrooms, our cottage offers very comfortable and relaxing self-catering accommodation for up to three people and is ideally situated for exploring this beautiful area.
Whether you are content with low-level riverside strolls or are a
more adventurous climber of fells there is an ample choice of walks
just from the doorstep. Derwentwater is 3 miles away and the town
of Keswick with all its visitor attractions is a mere 6½ miles.
There is a shop, two pubs and several restaurants within easy
walking distance. Without needing to use a car or bus (but if you need it, the stop
is just outside our gate) there is a myriad of beautiful walks in
all directions, from the beautiful Langstrath Valley up to the most
strenuous hike you could wish for, including around 35 Wainwright
summits. Nearby fells include
Glaramara, Great Gable and High Spy. Scafell Pike and the
Langdale Pikes are possibilities for the stronger walker and a short
drive over the Honister Pass will take you to Buttermere and fells
such as Wainwright's favourites of Haystacks and Pillar. As
the crow flies there are 56 Wainwright summits within 5 miles,
including Scafell Pike.
Wildlife lovers will be thrilled to know we regularly see red
squirrels, rabbits and a fascinating variety of birds in the garden. Other mammals also seen recently include badgers, deer and otters
down by the nearby River Derwent.
