Braithwaite
A tiny Lake District hamlet in Cumbria sitting beside Coledale Beck, with the Grisedale Pike ridge to the east and Whinlatter Forest's walking trails close by. Braithwaite is a practical base for outdoor activity in the northern Lakes — climbing, canoeing, sailing, and orienteering are all available within a few miles — with pubs, B&Bs, and a campsite in the village itself. The fell of Barrow is a short walk away, and the market town of Keswick lies just to the east.
