Buttermere, Lake District, Cumbria, U.K.
The village of Buttermere lies between the Lake District lakes of Buttermere and Crummock Water, and is overlooked by the summits of Grasmoor to the north and High Stile to the south. The nearest towns are Keswick and Cockermouth, both of which are approximately 10 miles away.
In the village, The Bridge Hotel, stands on a site tracing back to the 11th century, where an armoury and a bakery stood, in connection with the Water-Mill Earl Boether built higher up the stream. For seven centuries the mill worked continuously, the buildings being many times renewed. Circa 1734, the buildings were sold to the church, the curate being the Reverend Robert Walker. He obtained a beer licence and originated the 'Bridge Inn'. In 1837, Jonathan Thomas Sleap purchased the property, rebuilding the inn using stone obtained from the old water will. He changed the name to 'Victoria' upon the visit by Her Majesty in 1850. In 1861, Mrs H Cooper inherited the property incorporating the bay windows, but it was the author Nicholas Size, who in 1920 extended and improved the building. Upon his death the new owner changed the name to 'The Bridge'. Peter and Janet McGuire who bought the hotel 1978, have owned the premises to the present day.
Buttermere is situated on the B5289 road that runs beside Crummock Water and along the valley of the River Cocker north to Cockermouth. In the other direction, the B5289 runs via the steep Honister Pass, to Borrowdale and Keswick. A more direct, but more minor, road crosses the nearby Newlands Pass into the Newlands Valley and hence to Keswick.

England is absolutely gorgeous best countyside in the world love England
The Lake District. One of the loveliest places on God's earth.
Nicest view in Great Britain looking towards Fleetwith Pike and Haystacks. Spent many times as a child camping on Richardson's Gatesgarth Farm and helping out on the farm with the farmers son and daughter.
I love the Lakes, just returned from a trip and off there again in a few weeks. Thanks for the memories. Cheers.
Lovely, very soothing, beautiful places in Northern England.
Three years back from now. Still beautiful. Especially with Mozart. Thanks!!!
It is not only the natural beauty but the people also,love them so much. Hopefully should be visiting within a month from pakistan again
That just fed my soul.
Adore Buttermere, it's my favourite place
What a beatiful area and stunning lake . Thanks alot for sharing
How lucky I am to be born in beautiful England.
I enjoyed your video very much. Although I am a Canadian I was at school at St Bees, and once in about 1957 a friend and I cycled to Buttermere from St Bees by way of Ennerdale , and over the top at Red Pike. I don't remember the hotels, but I do recall a tearoom where we could get a well -earned rum-butter tea. I went there a year or so ago and nobody had heard of rum-butter! it seems to have gone the way of the dodo! We cycled back to St Bees in time for evening chapel! At 79 I still love the Lake District, and go back there for a week of walking when I can..
the driving part played at 2x speed is like a beautifully scenic rally course
Love that walk around Buttermere.
Lovely video. Buttermere plus Mozart. Amazed five people disliked this.
Really beautiful scenery
The Spine of Fleetwith Pike, one of my favourite climbs from Gatesgarth farm, love Buttermere.
Nice video, brought back lots of happy memories of when my family and I went to Buttermere in the mid-late 1960's. It was very quiet in those days, with us sometimes being the only ones camping in Mr. Sykes field near Crummock Water. Sadly it seems very busy and commercialised now!
Gorgeous lovely England
