Details for Newlands Holiday Apartment Ref 1387

Location: The charming village of Braithwaite is set in a stunning location between the magnificent northern lakes of Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite. With whitewashed Lakeland cottages, two village shops and two real ale Inns, each brimming with character, the settlement has retained much of its traditional appeal and offers the added attraction of the Coledale Beck which runs through the village. The beautiful Newlands Valley is situated between Braithwaite and Buttermere, whilst picturesque Bassenthwaite Lake is well worth a visit. From a gentle countryside ramble to a challenging hike up Skiddaw, walkers of all abilities are catered for in this diverse location. Visitors will enjoy a trip to Mirehouse - a grand house and gardens on the shores of the lake with an open-air theatre, as well as trips around the lake. Trotters Farm, Dodd Wood, Derwentwater, and Keswick are also within easy reach.

Impressive mountains, open fells and clear-water lakes; the Lake District landscape has inspired several literary greats, including William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter. Walking is one of the best ways of exploring the Lake District. The mountains of Skiddaw, Scafell and Helvellyn provide enjoyable challenges, whilst at lower levels there are hundreds of routes among the lakes and stone-walled fields. If bustling lakeside towns and exhilarating watersports take your fancy, then Windermere and Coniston Water, where you can cruise the lake on a steam-powered yacht, could be for you.

If its peace and tranquillity you seek then the secluded lakes of Buttermere and Wastwater are not to be missed. Cumbria offers much more just lakes. Explore the National Nature Reserve on Walney Island or visit the picturesque Duddon Valley. With award-winning gardens and the Lakeland Motor Museum, Holker Hall is a great day out. In northern Cumbria the peaceful villages of Caldbeck and Ireby offer a haven of solitude and tranquillity. To the east lies the green and sheltered Eden Valley. Its dramatic landscape provides a range of activities including walking, cycling and water sports and is home to the Lakeland Bird of Prey Centre and Lowther Wildlife Park.
