Burrowdale

Product Information

Borrowdale has its own Parish Council; Borrowdale Parish Council. [1] The civil parish of Borrowdale covers a considerable area around the valley, including the southern half of Derwent Water. It includes the settlements of Grange, Rosthwaite, Seathwaite, Seatoller, Stonethwaite and Watendlath. It lies entirely within the Lake District National Park. Borrowdale is fairly unusual for the Lake District in that it doesn’t have a huge number of pubs - primarily because of its remoteness. In fact, The Langstrath Country Inn is the only pub in Borrowdale. Fortunately, though, it’s a good one, and you’ll be glad you stopped by.

This huge boulder is precariously perched on one side and looks as though it might topple over at any moment. But don't worry, it's been in this position for thousands of years. Climb to the top using the sturdy ladder or try to shake hands with someone through a narrow gap underneath the boulder. Castle Crag - one of the 'Jaws' of Borrowdale Borrowdale stretches from the southern shores of Derwentwater into the heart of the Lake District. It is home to the hamlets of Grange, Rosthwaite and Seatoller, with other clusters of cottages to be found in Seathwaite, Stonethwaite, Manesty and Watendlath. It is hard to believe that this valley, now part of the National Park, was once a hive of industrial activity with iron smelting, charcoal burning, and mining for copper and graphite. Scattered hamlets reflect the Nordic influence in their names, while stone walls and vernacular buildings chronicle centuries of farming. Today farming struggles to make a living and visitors play an important role in sustaining the local community.
