Damson Ghyll is situated at Latterhead, Loweswater in the Vale of
Lorton in the secluded north west part of
the Lake District
National Park and is an
ideal base for walking, cycling and touring. The towns of Cockermouth
(Wordsworth’s birthplace) and Keswick are nearby. Latterhead (circled
in photos above) is a small hamlet enclosed by Low Fell on one side (left
hand photo above) and by the higher mountains of Whiteside and Grasmoor on
the other (right hand photo above). There are 3 lakes within easy reach of
Latterhead – Loweswater itself, Crummock Water with its
backdrop of Melbreak and Buttermere surrounded by its own set of fells –
Red Pike, High Stile, Haystacks and Fleetwith Pike. The Vale of
Lorton can be easily accessed over any of several beautiful passes –
Whinlatter, Newlands or Honister from Borrowdale or simply off the A66 from Cockermouth.
For cyclists, the Coast to Coast (C2C) route passes the front
gate.
