About the home

This beautiful recently renovated traditional lakeland cottage is a great place to come and relax. It has a lovely cosy feel with wood-burner and is a wonderful base for exploring the Lakes. It also has the convenience of all the facilities that the nearby town of Cockermouth has to offer. The Belle Vue pub in Papcastle is within walking distance of the cottage and serves real ale (Jennings) and excellent home cooked bar meals.

Cockermouth is just a mile away and has a Sainsbury's supermarket as well as smaller shops, a small cinema, cafés, restaurants & pubs, and river walks.

Loweswater Lake is Cherry Tree Cottage's nearest lake with lovely woodland walks. For the more energetic, Skiddaw is one of the highest mountains in the Lake District and is a fifteen minute drive away.

Facilities

Further details indoors:

The woodburner

The Cumbria/Lake District region

Cockermouth is the birthplace of William Wordsworth and blends history with modern living. William Wordsworth's home is worth a visit, as is Jennings Brewery and Museum. There are plenty of antique shops and cafés, including Merienda which holds the occasional Jazz evening. There are a variety of pubs and smaller shops (butchers, bakers etc) as well as a Sainsbury's.

The Cockermouth / Papcastle area

Cockermouth the perfect starting place to explore the northern Lake District and all it has to offer. Loweswater & Buttermere are just 7 miles away, Ennerdale is 10 miles and Keswick with Derwentwater Lake is a 13 mile drive.

ENNERDALE
Ennerdale is famed for being the Lake District's wild lake. You can walk round the bottom of it or venture up on the high fells around it. There is a forest there too which has bike trails through it. Bikes can be hired from the Shepherd's Arms pub in Ennerdale.

Just beyond Ennerdale, on Cold Fell, is Murthwaite Farm which has pony trekking on the fell. Driving along the fell road and coming across the ponies apparently roaming wild is quite a sight to see.

LOWESWATER, CRUMMOCK WATER & BUTTERMERE

Loweswater is a peaceful lake which has a lakeside path through deciduous woods with the Kirkstile Inn at one end - a pub famed for good food.

At Crummock Water are the Rannerdale bluebells. Depending on the weather, early May is the best time of year to pay a visit here and it will create a lasting impression - I've never seen anything quite like it. Take a picnic and just spend some time among the bluebells.

At Buttermere is a farm cafe which sells delicious ice-creams and is well worth a visit.

KESWICK
Having visited Loweswater, Crummock Water and Buttermere, drive through the Newlands Valley, over Whinlatter Forest Pass to Braithwaite and then Keswick beyond. It's a lovely drive and Keswick is a busy market town (market day is Thursday and Saturday) with lots going on. There is a theatre here, climbing wall, puzzling place, bike hire, boat hire and cinema (which also shows World Cinema films on a Sunday afternoon throughout winter).

Mirehouse is a large manor house a couple of miles outside Keswick with gardens which include four woodland playgrounds, a heather maze and a rhododendron tunnel.

CUMBRIA'S COASTLINE

Cockermouth often gets the better weather being fairly close to the coast. Silloth (about 17 miles away) is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The town was planned in the 1850s with a large seafront green and wide tree-lined avenues. The sunsets are fabulous.

The coastal town of Maryport is about 6 miles away and has an aquarium which children love. A blues festival is held in Maryport each year in July and attracts big names such as Van Morrison and Gary Moore.
