Leatheswater

Keswick, North West England

Leatheswater
Leatheswater is a cottage for two in Keswick, right in the heart of the Lake District, and makes a peaceful base for a couple wanting to explore Cumbria. A nearby bus stop adds a bit of flexibility if you'd rather not drive everywhere.

There's plenty to see close at hand, including Threlkeld Quarry & Mining Museum, Keswick Museum & Art Gallery and the Puzzling Place. Derwent Water at Crow Park is just 4.4 miles away for a scenic walk, though do note its water quality is rated poor. Windermere station, around 13.7 miles off, is the nearest rail link.
