Parkergate cottages are situated in an idyllic location in the outskirts of Keswick. Bassenthwaite is a small, picturesque agricultural village not far from Bassenthwaite Lake. There are a number of charming villages in the surrounding area including Thorntwaite, Applethwaite and Millbeck. The property benefits from being in one of the best locations in the whole of Cumbria for enjoying spectacular Lakeland sunsets over the North West fells. Local attractions include the Lakes Distillery, Mirehouse and gardens, Lake District Wildlife Park and Honister Slate Mine.

The property is approximately 22 miles from Junction 40 of the M6, affording excellent accessibility to the wider Lake District National Park and beyond. The nearest train station is Penrith, approximately 22 miles to the east of the property. Newcastle airport is the closest airport to the property, approximately 81 miles away, offering services to the rest of the UK and Europe.

BASSENTHWAITE AND CUMBRIABassenthwaite village is a typical north Lakeland Village. It presents an abundance of outdoor activities such as cycling, canoeing and a vast amount of walking opportunities. The area is also home to a rich variety of birds and wildfowl, including rare ospreys. Bassenthwaite Lake is one of the largest bodies of water in the Lake District, at four miles long and ¾ mile wide, but also one of the shallowest (70 feet deep). The lake lies at the foot of Skiddaw mountain, the 931 metre summit making it the sixth highest mountain in England. The lake is a popular water sports destination and every year hosts ‘Bass Week,’ a family regatta that ranks amongst the most popular open events in the North of England.

Cumbria is one of the largest and most rural counties in England. The Lake District National Park covers over 500,000 acres and is one of the UKs premier tourist destinations attracting over 19.7 million tourists in 2017. Home to England’s highest mountain range, tarns, meres and 12 of the largest lakes in England, the National Park offers extensive walking and cycling routes, along with the opportunity to climb England’s highest mountain, Scarfell Pike.
