Borrowdale is a classic example of a steep sided glacial valley in mountainous countryside. Running ten miles from the high fells, with 977m Scafell Pike the highest summit, down to the shores of Derwentwater at Keswick, the River Derwent valley must be one of the most dramatic and beautiful landscapes in Britain.

Rosthwaite is the first and largest of the settlements in the upper valley with Stonethwaite, Seatoller and the small hamlet of Seathwaite further on at the start of valley routes into the mountains. The design of buildings and use of local building materials add to the attractiveness and interest for the many visitors staying, walking or touring through the valley.

All of this spectacular landscape lies within half an hour of travelling from Keswick.
