Braithwaite Court

The Lake District

The English Lake District is Britain's largest National Park. It covers 880 square miles and attracts more visitors than any other National Park. The beauty and grandeur of its mountains and lakes (more correctly 'fells and waters') is legendary.

Although most of today's visitors come to this corner of England for the fell walking or for more gentle rambles by the water's edge, there are many more recreational pursuits to enjoy and numerous places of interest to discover.

The pretty village of Braithwaite is just a few minutes drive from Derwent Water, 2 miles west of the market town of Keswick. It is well located for those wishing to holiday in the delightful surroundings of the northern part of the Lake District National Park. It is easily accessible from the M6, via the A66 from Penrith.
