Location, location, location


We are so lucky to live where we do - we just wish we had more time than we do to enjoy the beautiful place we live in.
For those of you who do not know us, we live in the heart of the Northern Lake District, just outside Keswick. Cherry Bank Bed and Breakfast, Dancing Gate Farm and the self-catering unit, Dancing Gate House all nestle together in the foothills of Dodd Wood with the mighty Skiddaw Range further behind. The views from here are breathtaking (see left), even for those who have lived in the area all their lives. We look across towards Grizedale Pike, with Winlatter Forest and, at times of higher water, the edges of Bassenthwaite Lake further to our right. To the left, we look up Newlands and Borrowdale Valley - Sca Fell can be seen in the very distance, Catbells in the foreground. To the far left we can see Walla Crag, and further round still, the Helvellyn Range. Completing the panarama is Latrigg Fell - an extremely popular walk and many people's starting point for Skiddaw.
