The Lake District Walker

Buttermere, Lake District, Cumbria, U.K.

The village of Buttermere lies between the Lake District lakes of Buttermere and Crummock Water, and is overlooked by the summits of Grasmoor to the north and High Stile to the south. The nearest towns are Keswick and Cockermouth, both of which are approximately 10 miles away.

In the village, The Bridge Hotel, stands on a site tracing back to the 11th century, where an armoury and a bakery stood, in connection with the Water-Mill Earl Boether built higher up the stream. For seven centuries the mill worked continuously, the buildings being many times renewed. Circa 1734, the buildings were sold to the church, the curate being the Reverend Robert Walker. He obtained a beer licence and originated the 'Bridge Inn'. In 1837, Jonathan Thomas Sleap purchased the property, rebuilding the inn using stone obtained from the old water will. He changed the name to 'Victoria' upon the visit by Her Majesty in 1850. In 1861, Mrs H Cooper inherited the property incorporating the bay windows, but it was the author Nicholas Size, who in 1920 extended and improved the building. Upon his death the new owner changed the name to 'The Bridge'. Peter and Janet McGuire who bought the hotel 1978, have owned the premises to the present day.

Buttermere is situated on the B5289 road that runs beside Crummock Water and along the valley of the River Cocker north to Cockermouth. In the other direction, the B5289 runs via the steep Honister Pass, to Borrowdale and Keswick. A more direct, but more minor, road crosses the nearby Newlands Pass into the Newlands Valley and hence to Keswick.

The day I did this was very cold, so much so that the water in my backpack froze solid.

Walking can be dangerous and is done entirely at your own risk. It is each walkers responsibility to know their own limitations and properly risk assess conditions, routes and if they are capable of
using navigational aids.
It is also each walkers responsibility to keep to country codes within the country they walk and supervise children.

Connections: Sheep to Chanel Part 11 Wools of Cumbria Carpets

This is part 11 of an interactive video called Connections: Sheep to Chanel. Go to to see the film in full plus masses of additional material on how to spin, weave etc. The technique is also a blueprint for education, teaching and e-learning which we demonstrate here. Various icons that you see appearing and disappearing on screen in the interactive version of the film are clickable and take you to new places and new material.

Another good use for wool is to use it for making carpets. John Barraclough of Wools of Cumbria Carpets WOOC tells us more about Herdwick, Swaledale and Roughfell, three British breeds being used to make British carpets which are as environmentally friendly as possible and make hard wearing carpets.

Places to see in ( Bassenthwaite - UK )

Bassenthwaite is a village and civil parish in the Borough of Allerdale in Cumbria, England. The village is about 7 miles (11 km) east of Cockermouth, and is approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) from Bassenthwaite Lake. Containing just a single pub and no shops, it is largely an agricultural community, with two farms within the village itself, with a number of holiday homes. Boasting a Church of England Church (St John's) on its outskirts, together with a tiny Methodist chapel, it contains many elements of the archetypal English village including a green, primary school and a stream running through it.

Trafford Caravan Park is on Carlisle Road 6 miles (9.7 km) from the roundabout just outside Keswick. Bassenthwaite Village is at the foot of Skiddaw, one of the highest mountains in England at 3,054 feet (931 m). Robin Hood, Skiddaw, Ullock Pike, Longside Edge and Barf can be seen from the village.

'Bassenthwaite' is 'Bastun's clearing', pers.[onal] n.[ame] plus 'þveit' 'clearing', also 'common', 'lake'. The 1st el[ement] is usually taken to be the Anglo-French nickname or surname 'Bastun', originally meaning 'stick', while the 2nd is ON 'þveit' 'clearing'. The lake, in early times known as 'Bastun's water', takes its name from the village.

The church of St Bega is in fields near the lake, some distance away from the village, and was built about 950AD. It is a grade II* listed building, and is popular for weddings. It is the parish church of Bassenthwaite : St John's church was built later as a chapel of ease. The St Bega's Way walking route was described in a booklet published to raise funds for the church in 2008.

Patterdale Mountain Rescue July 2014

Rescue of our friend David after he collapsed whilst hiking in the Lake District, England. I had camped at Brothers Water in 1958 at the age of 11 years after cycling 99 miles in the day on my single speed bike with my 15 year old next door neighbour. I saw an episode of Tony Robinson's (Baldrick out of Blackadder) series Walking through history that featured this area. Visiting UK from the Philippines where I live, I resolved to visit the area with my old Uni pal Dave Shaw. He collapsed as you will see. It turned out he had pneumonio, however they also found dark shadow in his lung. It turned out to be cancer, they removed it and it saved his life. If I hadn't seen that Tony Robinson episode, Dave might now be 'brown bread'.
