One of the many stunning lakes in the Lake District, Bassenthwaite stretches for 4 miles (6.4 km) amongst the hills. There are no major settlements on the lake, instead you will find The Lakes Distillery serving spirits, a few pubs, and Bassenthwaite Sailing Club. The lake is also home to the vendace, a rare and endangered fish which is only found in Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite.
