Borrowdale is the valley of the River Derwent and extends from the Scafell range through picturesque villages down to the beautiful Derwentwater and the outskirts of Keswick. The ideal place for a get-away-from-it-all holiday cottage, enjoy the stunning heights of Scafell Pike and Skiddaw for great climbs or gentle strolls through ancient woodland, plus boats and all things watery on the delightful Derwentwater and the bustling market town of Keswick on your doorstep.
Unspoilt and accessible, the National Trust owns much of the land around Borrowdale including the Castlerigg Stone Circle. The fells are obviously perfect for walking and offer fantastic cycling routes. Check out the wealth of outdoor activities to be found at the Derwent Water Marina and year round entertainment at the Theatre by the Lake in Keswick. For a fascinating family day out go deep underground at the Honister Slate Mine or be amazed by the optical illusions at the Puzzling Place!
