Wordsworth House rises majestically on Main Street in Cockermouth, a charming town on the edge of the Lake District. Built around 1745, the house reflects the understated grandeur of Georgian architecture: a perfectly symmetrical façade of sand-colored bricks, tall rectangular windows with classically framed woodwork, and an ornate yet understated doorway that evokes the sense of order and proportion characteristic of this period. The poet William Wordsmouth was born here in 1770.

Driving west you first have to climb the slope and then you have a beautiful view

Hesket Newmarket is a picturesque village in the northern part of the Lake District National Park. It sits on a terrace above the River Caldew valley and is surrounded by rolling hills, meadows, and footpaths. The village center consists of 18th-century cottages surrounding a long village green with a covered market cross. Although granted a market charter in the 18th century, it remained primarily a rural settlement. Today, you'll find a village shop, a post office, and the Old Crown Inn—the UK's first cooperatively run pub, renowned for its local character and connected to the Hesket Newmarket Brewery, also cooperative and beloved by beer lovers.

Ok, so it’s not an easy ride up as it has narrow and rocky sections. However a committed intermediate level rider should at least enjoy the bits they can ride, and the views across the valley and up to Skiddaw House make it a worthwhile climb, even when pushing the bike. We did it in summer, so imagine it’s trickier in winter.

Binsey is a freestanding hill in the northern Lake District, north of Bassenthwaite Lake. At 447 meters high, it's one of the smaller fells, but the views from the summit are surprisingly impressive. On a clear day, you can see not only the western Lakeland fells, but also the Solway Firth, Dumfries & Galloway, and even the Isle of Man. If you stay on the road, you'll remain at 260 meters.

Beautiful place for a drink with a fantastic view

Pub in the heart of Hesket Newmarket, serving, among other beers, beer from the local, cooperatively run microbrewery "Hesket Newmarket Brewery" (founded in 1988). Quote from the website: The pub is owned by a cooperative with around 150 customers and supporters from the local and wider community. It is England's first registered cooperative-owned pub. In 2024, The Old Crown won the Cumbria Life Awards for "Best Pub or Bar." We were there on a Monday - unfortunately, there was no food that day, but there was an open stage where various musicians performed songs. https://www.theoldcrownpub.co.uk/ http://hesketbrewery.co.uk/
