There are pleasant trips into Borrowdale, one of the most beautiful valleys in the Lake District, or round Derwentwater (10mi/16km), passing the Falls of Lodore, made famous by Southey's poem. Particular beauty spots in Borrowdale, which is famed for its fine birch trees and its good-quality slate, are Grange-in-Borrowdale and Rosthwaite.
