Accommodation within 2km (1.2 miles) of the start of our walk:
Cumbria Way - Keswick to Caldbeck

2 miles from Keswick, our much-loved, family-run hostel occupies Barrow House, a Georgian mansion with great views of the lake and mountains. With friendly and knowledgeable staff, 88 bed spaces in 11 bedrooms, delicious homemade meals and our own waterfall we are an ideal location for individuals, groups, and families.

Bassenthwaite Parish Room provides a fantastic self-catering location for walking/cycling groups. A great location for accessing the Northern Lake District with Skiddaw virtually on the doorstep. BYO beds, bedding, towels and toiletries. £180 pn (two night minimum) for up to 18 people. Some availability throughout the year. Sorry no Stag/Hen.

Small, quiet, friendly campsite on the Cumbrian Way, with many walks directly from site. We charge per person per night with no silly extras for hot water, dogs, etc. The facilities are modern, clean, and well maintained. Also we allow campfires; permitted only in the dug in fire-pits on site.
