CUMBRIA AND THE LAKES

Borrowdale And Buttermere Valleys


Hemmed in by wooded fells, flat fields and pointy granite peaks, and sprinkled with the kind of remote farmhouses and sturdy cottages that grace many a Lakeland postcard, the valleys of Borrowdale and Buttermere are many people’s idea of the quintessential Lake District landscape. Separated by the old Honister Pass – once the county’s main slate-mining area – these twin valleys are hugely popular with walkers and hikers, with a network of walking trails and easy access to some of the region’s highest peaks.

Borrowdale stretches for 6 miles from the western edge of Derwent Water to Honister Pass. Buttermere runs northwest from Honister Pass along the shores of Buttermere Lake and Crummock Water towards Cockermouth.
