buttermere

行山杂志经常介绍湖区的美，特别是Buttermere 很多时被选为秋天美景，难得这日天气很好，几乎没有风，湖面十分平静，我们沿湖边慢慢散步，四周的树木已变得金黄金黄，太阳刚刚从山后出来，第一道光照在湖面时，空气中仿佛有一道白纱，真的美得像仙景，偶然在湖边看见一两只水鸭，真的很羡慕牠们过着这么平静优哉的生活。沿湖行一周大约要两个小时，这日我们行下停下，又拍拍照，总共用了三个小时，不过一点都不觉累，我们在Buttermere 的咖啡小馆，吃点东西休息一下，我点了一个 butter beer ，起初以为是啤酒之类的饮品，原来是没有酒精的热饮，焦糖味热牛奶，很好味呢! 马上给力，离开前还点了雪糕，替这一日画上完美的句号。

Stopped here for a quick visit and was quite impressed with this beautiful location. The lake offers some wonderful walks in the surrounding area. The lake really is spectacular surrounded by fells and if you rise early enough of a morning the reflections are magic!

Ideal walking area with spectacular views complete with accommodation and a few places to eat. The craft cafe staff are very friendly with high standards and good quality food! Will gladly recommend this area for the stunning views and great walks.

Just beautiful. I think one of my favourite spots. Lovely ice cream man as you reach the road 1/2 way round the lake... Ideal for younger children as lots to stretch their imaginTion!

Buttermere is my fav lake in the the Lake district and the drive there is lovely and its a perfect walk if you have young children with a decent path all the way around with stunning views and then finish it of with coffee and cake in the Croft cafe

Whether you want a gentle stroll around the lake or a more energetic hike up to Haystacks or the other adjacent peaks you should visit Butteremere. The views and atmosphere are outstanding

Nice walk around the lake. Plenty of parking spots although all are pay and display. To go right round at a steady stroll takes about 2 hours. has a good path but the east side is very uneven with rocks and roots so not recommended for push chairs. Theres a couple of coffee shops at one end along with toilets etc. nice for a half day. Dogs love it.

The lake is gorgeous and easy to get to and a good walk around and have a good meal at the Bridge afterwards.

Love this area for a mid-stay walk, breathtaking scenery from High Stile and a variety of paths to choose from. Cyclists like it too.

One of the prettiest (and smallest) lakes in the Lake District, it is surrounded by hills which present one of the more challenging walks in the area, or an easy one around the shore. Beautiful at any time of the year, and quieter than some of the more popular lakes like Windemere or Derwent Water.

What a wonderful place to go for a walk, if you want to stay on the flat it's great , however if you want to take on the hills then you have all that too, lovely

If you love walking, then you will love the walk around buttermere lake and also Crummock Water nearby. Buttermere is truly stunning and a lovely place to have a day out weather permitting! There are free walking maps that you easily can find online. We parked on the street just before we reached the main town as all the cars were parked there.

fantastic walks round the village and lake. beautiful place in summer or winter, has become one of our favourite if not our favourite place in the world

A quiet lake in winter that has amazing views, climbs and walks.Locals friendly and helpful.Good cafe on site.

Not having visited the western lakes this was a total surprise, a real hidden gem. Small enough to walk around and you get the most amazing reflections of the hills in the water. Had a pub lunch at the Fish before starting the walk.
