The peaceful and pretty market town of Cockermouth is just a short drive from The Pheasant Inn, and it's packed with activities for our guests. Cockermouth's slight west location means it can be overlooked by tourists but don't let this fascinating place pass you by! Here are just some of the fun facts we love about our local town:
When it comes to days out near The Pheasant, Keswick has it all - local independents with Cumbrian welcomes, arts, culture and ancient history plus all the outdoor activities you’d expect from a Lake District town. And it’s a fun day out for dogs too!
Clusters of daffodils and their sunshine-yellow trumpets are a sight for winter-weary eyes this season. We like to think of the Lake District as their spiritual home, as Cumbrian poet William Wordsworth dedicated one of his most famous poems to the cheery flowers.
The Pheasant Inn is in the heart of walker's paradise and we have so many beautiful hikes on our doorstep. One of the best all-rounders is a walk up Latrigg, Keswick’s own fell, with routes for all ages and abilities and 360-degree views that are worth every single step.
What’s the best way to beat the winter blues? Book your next trip and plan fun activities for when you get there! We're ideally located near some of the Lake District's best events – here are our top picks for 2018:
