plenty of space for boots and coats
large lounge and garden room to gather in and share the experience;

Bawd Hall is an ideal base for walking with many walks from the front door

Bassenthwaite Lake from the Newlands Valley – Swinside Inn on the right.

Causey Pike is a superb climb followed by a lovely ridge walk

Drive the short distance to Buttermere and get this fine view of Crummock Water from the top of Red Pike

Great Gable, seen from the east

Grisedale Pike forms part of a local horseshoe walk or can be climbed by itself from the Whinlatter pass (this is the view over to Skiddaw)

Approaching the top of Hopegill Head

Maiden Moor is a fine mountain with excellent views – plan your walk from the house!

Our guests say...

"What a fabulous cottage – walks galore from the door." - J, N.Yorkshire
"The house is amazing. We love the views and we enjoyed walking all the fells that we could see.." - B&S, Devon
"Blessed with good weather we enjoyed walks from Buttermere to Red Pike… before being drawn to our best walk from the house up Robinson and down via Hindscarth." - MS, Sussex
"We love Bawd Hall, it lived up to every expectation. Great to be able to walk from the door every day and not to have to drive." - JH

The Lake District offers the finest walking in England, from lakeside strolls to mountain marathons. Some of our favourite local walks are:

Causey Pike and the ridge to Crag Hill;
extend this to do the "Coledale Round" over Hopegill Head and Grisedale Pike (or do those from Whinlatter);
stroll along the side of Derwent Water and take the boat around the lake or into Keswick;
Maiden Moor, Hindscarth and Robinson – super ridge walking (you can see this from the house);
Aikin Knott, Ard Crags and Knott Rigg (another fine ridge just out of the door);
add the last two together for a super but very full round walk from the house;
walk around Buttermere – tranquil and with excellent pubs;
not forgetting Catbells with its lovely views of Derwent Water.

Sit in the garden and plan your walk by eye. Or you can drive a short distance to climb Skiddaw, Blencathra, Great Gable or Scafell Pike among many others.
