Grange, also known as Grange in Borrowdale, is a small, picturesque village in the Borrowdale Valley, approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) south of Keswick. It is connected via the B5289 road, which runs parallel with Derwentwater and continues on to the village of Borrowdale, Honister Pass and eventually Buttermere and Crummock Water. It lies at the bottom of the valley, surrounded by Maiden Moor (575m) and High Spy (646m) on the west, Castle Crag (290m) to the south and Grange Fell (415m) to the east. The village is accessed by the double-arched stone bridge over the River Derwent, built in 1675. There are places to stay here and a small cafe provides a rest stop and gastronomical delights for the weary walker and cyclist. (read more)
