Nature and Scenery
We are spoilt for wonderful nature and
scenery.
Locally there is the site itself with a delightful walk around the
lake. Also local is Finglandrigg Nature Reserve (English Nature),
Campfield Marsh and Solway Firth (outstanding Birdlife). Close by is
the western course of Hadrian's Wall.
The Northern Lakes half an hour drive away (Buttermere Valley,
Borrowdale, Derwent Water, Ullswater and Mungrisdale) offer some of the
most spectacular scenery around.
There is an observation point for Osprey at
Bassenthwaite and for Golden Eagles at Haweswater. Also easily
accessible are Dumfries and Galloway, Grey Mares Tail (nr Moffat),
Cockermouth.
