This charming village lies
near Keswick and looks out onto beautiful
hills. Bassenthwaite Lake lies below and is
thought to be the place where Sir Bevedere
discarded King Arthur’s sword, Excalibur. Its
waters are home to the vendace, a rare fish
found only here and in Derwent Water. Soaring
above everything is the great mountain Skiddaw
where the first pair of ‘English’ ospreys bred
in 2003. |
