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 Grasmoor;
and Buttermere surrounded by its own set of fells –
Red Pike, High Stile, High Crag, Haystacks, Fleetwith Pike, Hindscarth and
Robinson. 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.
