North Lakes
Grange-in-Borrowdale

The setting of this hamlet is stunning; it lies at the ‘jaws’ of Borrowdale, beneath Maiden Moor and High Spy to one side and Grange Fell. Castle Crag further down the valley along the picturesque River Derwent. From 1209, the village was a ‘grainge’, a farm for the monks at Furness Abbey and was the remotest of its estates in the county. There is a small shop and a café to stock up on provisions, before heading off for one of a wide choice of walks from this point.
