Portinscale, as you will probably know, is a small village located 1 mile west of Keswick and is ideally situated at the head of Lake Derwentwater and Borrowdale. Its popularity stems from the fact that everything is at hand, namely walking and climbing in Borrowdale. Sailing and windsurfing under supervision on Derwentwater (marinas are a minutes walk away). There are horse riding stables on the road to Keswick and if you are feeling fit, mountain biking are available to hire from Keswick.
Many of our regular visitors start their holiday by locking their cars in the garage and planning their walks from Westbury. There is no better walk in the District for variety than that which takes you down to Nichol End Marina, through the woods and fields along the shore of Derwentwater to Brandleliow and thence to the ever-popular Cat Bells. Go half way up the fell and there is a grassy path that starts you on your way back home. The views over the lake are quite breathtaking and, given a nice day, unforgettable. Pop in the Swinside Inn for refreshments to complete a half days walk.
Westbury is available for booking on a weekly basis only (apart from low season weeks when you can book from 3 nights), with Saturday being the check-in / check-out day (apart from Xmas and New Year periods)
