Buttermere is the highest up the valley or most easterly. Next is Crummock Water which is the longest of the three lakes in the Buttermere valley. It's managed by the National Trust. The road along the valley is lovely to ride running right along the banks for some sections.
Good pub and café in Buttermere village and lots of options for picnic or swimming spots all along this road.

The Kirkstile Inn makes a pleasant stop on this easy route. The food is good and so is the beer!
