Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Borrowdale?
The best areas to stay in Borrowdale are the villages of Grange-in-Borrowdale and Rosthwaite, both offering excellent bases for exploring the valley.

Grange-in-Borrowdale is situated at the northern end of the valley, close to Derwentwater. This picturesque village is known for its two distinctive packhorse bridges over the River Derwent and its delightful tea rooms. It's an excellent starting point for walks directly from your accommodation, with paths leading to the lake shore or up onto the fells.

For couples seeking a peaceful retreat with easy access to walking trails, Grange-in-Borrowdale is an ideal choice. You can enjoy strolls along the river, take a boat trip on Derwentwater, or embark on more challenging hikes up Castle Crag, all directly from the village.

Rosthwaite is located further south in the Borrowdale valley, offering a more secluded feel. It's a smaller village with a few hotels and guesthouses, and it's particularly popular by walkers. From Rosthwaite, you have direct access to numerous footpaths leading into the heart of the fells, including routes up Scafell Pike and Great Gable.

For experienced walkers or those keen on serious hiking, Rosthwaite provides a superb base due to its central position within the valley's network of trails.
When is the best time to go to Borrowdale?
The best time to go to Borrowdale is during the spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October) months, when the weather is generally pleasant and the landscape is particularly beautiful.

During spring, the valley awakens with fresh greenery and blooming wildflowers, making it ideal for walking and enjoying the natural surroundings. The temperatures are mild, and you'll find fewer crowds compared to the peak summer season. It's a lovely time for couples looking for scenic strolls and a peaceful escape.

Autumn offers a spectacular display of colours as the leaves on the fells and trees turn golden and russet. The air is crisp, and the hiking conditions are excellent. This period is superb for keen walkers and those who appreciate dramatic landscapes.
