Stunning place! The drive leading to the waterfall offers breathtaking views and you can already see it from the route. The waterfall is located literally next to a free car park so you don’t have to walk far. There is a hike leading further up next to it too. Worth popping by to see such a beauty! Views are stunning.

A beautiful area. Great view of the waterfall from the car park (which is free). A steep climb to the top, or base of the waterfall but fantastic views that make it worth it

Stopped off on my way to Buttermere definitely worth while stopping it's a 15-minute walk to Moss Force waterfall from the carpark. There are some absolutely stunning views from the top.

Just unbelievable, you could see almost the whole course of the waterfall from the top of the mountain. Beautiful green space all around. Very good condition of the road (visited in summer). Plenty of free parking below the waterfall. No tickets needed.

Very short walk from the car park to the falls. Can be slippy. Beautiful.

Beautiful waterfall running all the way down to the valley. Well with a visit. Limited parking - around 8 - 10 cars. Reasonably easy walk up in dry weather. It rained when I read there and the path did get a bit muddy and slippery.

Free to see. Very very lovely waterfall. Bit of a climb up and down rocks to get to but worth it!

Great hill to walk up. We parked in a small, free carpark next to Crummock Water, then headed half a mile up steep, stony paths to reach the top. The view from above just after sunset time was simply stunning. Unfortunately we missed the bluebells though, maybe next year!

I did this walk from the car park at Crummock water two days ago and loved it. There is a moderate longish plod up hill through Rannerdale to the col opposite Robinson - and then the lovely undulating ridge walk with spectacular views of the fells and lakes below. Sadly I was just too early to capture the fields of bluebells near Squat beck. I agree with other reviews that the very steep stone steps down from the summit of Rannerdale Knott need a lot of care - they can be slippery or uneven. But this is a walk I'd certainly do again, maybe in May when the bluebells are more spectacular. You can see them in my second photo if you look hard! They are there. The last photo showing the steep path descending from Rannerdale Knott summit needs to be rotated 90 degrees I think.

A beautiful spot just off the beaten track and not too busy, great place to spot random airforce flybys too

This is a small yet quirky mountain. When you hike from Whiteless Pike you get to walk up the lovely ridge to the summit. The route back down to the road is reasonable as well, and the views from the top of Crummock Water are immense.

Amazing views. The walk wasn't too strainuous. It took us 3 hours to walk from the Buttermere village to the Rannerdale summit and down again to Buttermere. The way down from the summit was very steep and slippery so be careful.

Excellent medium fell walk that starts gently up the hidden valley, then breathtaking views of Fleetwirth Pike, Hay stacks, Scarth Gap, Red Pike, Grasmoor, & Whiteless Pike, as well as three lakes. Final decent is short and tricky down steps but we managed it with a nutty dog & an 82 year old. Arrive early as parking is limited.

A lovely little hill with stunning views in all directions. We visited during bluebell season, and a walk through these is fairly easy. Well worth a visit

Wonderful hike to scale Force. It's a stunning waterfall tucked away on the side of Red Pike near Buttermere. The hike is a little technical at times due to erosion of the trail but nothing to complete. If you get to the waterfall erly you will probably have it to yourself. Absolutely stunning location.

Such a rewarding hike once you reach the waterfall, you can climb up the first part and get to the main waterfall at the back. Just be mindful of the rocks as they can be very slippery

Moderate but fun Hike, Some Boggie Parts so Bring Waterproof Boots, well worth the walk.

After a long, scenic walk we enjoyed this treasure. The sound of the waterfall, clean, clear water. Ideal spot for mindfulness sessions. Loved it.

Fantastic place for a day trip. Highly recommend to climb hire to actual waterfall. It is challenging climb, so not for everyone but definitely worth it!

Lovely walk from buttermere village, heading towards buttermere lake but instead turn right and follow the track. You will walk through some very narrow peices and head towards crummock water but you will soon start to follow the track left and start to climb up. Lovely water fallespcially after it has been raining. Kids loved it and I loved the views.

Beautiful waterfall a nice walk from Buttermere. If you're lucky you'll get it to yourself, as we did.

Amazing 30th Anniversary celebration at Cockermouth Castle today. Organisation of the day was slick from the tasty picnic, to the Poetry tour, music, theatre and magic. Beautiful surroundings in which to celebrate this special occasion for such a vital part of the Cockermouth community. Many thanks and looking forward to the future events you have planned.

Fantastic music venue. We saw excellent Billy Joel/Elton interpretion show with John Reilly / Lewis N. Excellent evening

Beautiful old style theatre. Small but very quaint. We watched a Noel Coward play from National Theatre Live. Really good fun. Staff were wonderful. I would cone back for sure if I was ever in the area again.

We called in to see the local photo history exhibition and the office staff were very helpful in letting us see the theatre space as i wanted to check legroom before booking for film showing. I would recommend to locals or tourists interested in arts and heritage

Amazing venue supported by brilliant staff allowing them to bring a cultural centre to Cockermouth. The building is beautiful but needs the suggested improvements

Charming little venue with friendly and helpful staff. Little confusing when we were told to sit on allocated seats but then no one to actually point us to the seats we were supposed to be in but it ended up not mattering so very minor. Great to see a independent venue like this selling out for a gig, need more support! Drinks all seemed very well priced too.

Very enjoyable Sunday afternoon, with fab music and lovely atmosphere.

We had a really fantastic lunch here. We were looking for some lunch in the area, but unfortunately everything was just basic stuff. This piece was totally different to the food. He was absolute fantastic and we had a very very best lunch you could imagine. Both myself and my wife enjoyed our meals. I had the rarebit and my wife had the frittata. Highly recommended !

Lovely little bookshop, with a nice cafe at the back. Has various events on through the month, though I haven't been to any. Good stock of fiction books too, especially crime.

An excellent independent bookshop with a fabulous coffee shop too! We wanted a couple of books that they didn't have in stock but they ordered them for us and we collected the next day. Definitely worth a browse when you're in Cockermouth.

Sat at an outside table on a sunny day. Delish coffee/hot choc and gorgeous lightly browned toast with melted butter. Staff there were delightful and attentive to us and our dog. And a bookshop as well. What’s not to like!

Excellent bookshop. Friendly knowledgeable staff. Great range to browse.

One of the best independent bookshops I've been to. Kind staff, passionate about what they do and extremely helpful (if it's not there they can order anything in). Lovely coffee shop at the back too. Well worth a visit if you're in the area! #supportlocal

Love this bookshop! Vibrant place - good choice of books for all ages. Busy coffee shop with delish cakes. Will definitely be back!

Great to look round where Wordsworth was born and lived. Steps up into the building and out into the garden. But they do have a lift which would get you in to see the ground floor and back down so you can get into the walled garden. Explore the walled garden that has plenty of fruit trees and plants/flowers not massive but has a lot packed in. Toilets and children's area indoors and small shop. Staff very welcoming and informative.

Although I'm not a fan of poetry I found this house and garden really worth a visit. The audio tour guide is well worth it because it brings the house and contents alive in a way pure text can't. The story surrounding Wordsworth and his family is both fascinating and tragic. His parents both died quite young and the hardship they experienced is sobering.

When I planned my visit I mistakenly thought this was the famous Wordsworth house in Grasmere; but quickly realized it’s a different one. While it wasnt the historic literary landmark I had in mind, staffs were very friendly and welcoming. They clearly care about the visitor experience and took the time to answer questions and share interesting details about the house. There are no much restrictions. The back garden was nice with apple trees❤️ Although it didn’t quite match my expectations in terms of literary history, the warm atmosphere and attentive service made it an enjoyable stop. If you’re in the area and looking for a peaceful visit with kind hosts, it’s still worth visiting.

What a fantastic place to visit. I’m not really a poetry fan, and yes we did Wordsworth when I was in school, and I knew something about them. However, this is a fantastic way to find out about him, his poetry, and also his works not only in literature but always saving the Lake District and preserving nature, et cetera.

I have wondered past this place a number of times but whilst working in Cockermouth but only now found time to visit and it was so worth while. Loads to see and a beautiful cottage garden at the back. The house gives a real insight into the Wordsworth family life and it's ups and downs. Definitely worth a second visit soon

Well worth a visit, many full displays and helpful literature readily available, plus the gardens which extend to a view of the river. Forming an image of the young Wordsworth family including William and the role his father played in the area.

Lovely building and understand that the house had other residents over the years so the interior is a representation of what it could of been like when Wordsworth was a child

Visited last Saturday with partner and new born, very busy but was handle very well by staff, all very organised kitchen and waiting staff, appeared to be smooth operation. Waitress was lovely, gave her a small tip as that’s all we had enjoyed our cake and hot chocolate very much. Lovely experience

It was a really awful experience, they served one meal long before the others so one of our party had finished their food a whole 25 minutes before the rest were served! The late food was then wrong! And we had to wait for more to be made. When asked what was going on, we were just told they were making it now, and then waited another 10 minutes for it to arrive. We received no apology for the disparity in time and then excuses for why the food was wrong, whilst the table next to us who came in much later received all their food after our first person got theirs, but before any of the others got theirs, despite having very similar meals! The cafe was not at all busy when we arrived, so there's no excuse for such lousy service? There weren't even breakfast menus on all the tables, despite them only serving breakfast until 11am and we came in at 9:30! They also have signs and notes about allergies but absolutely nothing safe for gluten-free/celiac people and the staff had no idea what was going on (either about allergies or even what they are supposed to be making!). We had to explain what gluten free meant and then the staff member informed us they no longer did anything like that. Honestly, the food was not even worth the wait and if we hadn't been made to pay on ordering, we would have left. I would recommend going anywhere else instead!

It's a shop sells loads of different things had quick look round but went for cake. Well worth going beneoffee pie is good, was hard to pick which one but was happy with it.

We were heading to Ravenglass this morning a different way because of the sat nav,and dad needed the toilet so we had a look around. What a lovely place to visit. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Definitely go agein.

You could spend hours here shopping, they had everything I needed for decorating and much more 😁

Small but nice garden centre on the outskirts of Cocker mouth. Nice selection of plants etc.

I'm not a shopper, but the this is worth a visit,including a wonderful cafe.

Lovely. Although busy the staff were friendly and efficient. The cod was fresh, tasty and cooked to perfection. The batter was crispy but still had a soft coating for the fish stopping it from drying up. The chips were soft and flavourful, just how I like them. The portion was big and absolutely worth the money. Highly recommend.

My wife and I had fish and chips here recently and it was excellent. We went back again though with the aim of having more fish and chips again but sadly the shop had experienced a fire and was boarded up. I hope that they are able to bounce back from this. Never nice to see people experience something like that. The people of Cockermouth are known for their resilience though and have had to deal with a lot of adversity over the years with all the flooding they've experienced. Just wanted to express my best wishes to the people who own and run the shop and my desire that they are able to get the shop back up and running again. Hopefully next time my wife and I are on holiday in the lake District we'll be able to visit again and enjoy great fish and chips once again. I hope that the remedial works to put right the damage go well! 👍

Absolutely amazing. As an American, I couldn't wait to try authentic F&C, I couldn't have picked a better spot! Batter was the greatest. Chips were amazing, top tier.

Awful service Standing in queue of 2 people - got completely ignored and they served a local that came in after me! I had to speak up to get served Food was mediocre too £13 for fish supper - £2 for peas!

Had lunch yesterday, cod & chips. The best fish & chips I have had in years! Brought bag loads of memories.

My go to venue for Fish and Chips, head and shoulders above others in my opinion. Nice chips, cooked too perfection with a slight crisp to them and beautiful fish. Alright downside is sometimes the length of wait, but that is because it's so darn popular 😀 *updated ... Numerous times it's been a 15 minute wait, only ever seems to be one staff serving

We were trying to find a place to have dinner and saw a line out of this shop! We came back later on in the day ten minutes before close and they still put two fish in for us! We got two cod, chips, a drink and a fish cake for £18! Fish was delicious! Would definitely recommend.

We visited the bitter end on Tuesday 15th June and they were super busy. However the staff were so friendly and accommodating. They made room for us and were very helpful in accommodating my need for gluten free food. The food , both a starter and two mains, was exceptional and thoroughly enjoyed. If we lived more locally we would definitely come again!

We came back for a toast after an enjoying drinks here a few nights before. Will be reviewing it separately for those drink (though will have to be on a different platform). Respectfully, it was one of the worst roast dinners I’ve ever eaten. The vegetable portions were small, the beef was dry and the gravy lacked flavour. Other food looked to be of a better standard but would not be coming back for a roast and would not recommend.

Great popular pub. We came for a night away in Cockermouth and this place was the stand out place. Tucked away but easy to find. Great selection of beer and although we didn't have food it looked good.

Just came in for a drink, quite a big dining room but all full even on a wet Monday night in Cockermouth. Great choice of beers, friendly staff. Food looked generous and tasty, with a few ‘gastropub’ specials.

The food was great. The service was less so-slow, plates left for ages on the table, originally weren't even shown where the reserved table was on entry to the pub despite asking although another member of staff rectified this. Nice atmosphere.

Great pub with a few benches outside and a lot of amazing decorated space inside, incredible food and lovely staff, thank you!!!!

Stopped here for dinner this week, a great range of ales and a fairly knowledgable bar staff that were able to offer some insight into the beers I had not heard of. The food was excellent, well presented, hot and tasty and very good value for money. One work of warning, my wife had the sticky toffee pudding and you better leave room as the portion was huge. Great atmosphere and of course the usual pack of dogs. Now whilst I don;t mind dogs in the pub when I am eating, perhaps some of the owners need to keep their pets on a shorter lead, not all that fond of a strange dog licking my leg. Suppose nothing the owners can do to stop this and did not detract from a fantastic evening out, thanks you to all the staff that make it possible.

Just had afternoon tea at The Trout. Food was lovely, fresh and plentiful. Even catered to my allergies without a fuss. Staff were amazing and extremely helpful. Very professional and cheerful. The hotel and grounds are amazing. Beautiful views. Would definitely recommend and visit again.

We had such a great time in the restaurant. The food was so good, really tasty, really fresh and well presented. The staff were really friendly and helpful and was overall a fantastic experience. I will be back as soon as I can.

This was a perfect location for my visit (though too short a visit) to Cockermouth. Centrally located, amenities and Wordsworth House nearby. Breakfast was fantastic, the chosen room was spacious and clean. The staff were all polite and friendly. Lastly, the daily rates are very reasonable.

Lovely hotel. I had a large room but other people I stayed with said their room was small. So I guess you have to make sure you get a good sized room by asking. Breakfast fantastic. Ate there twice. Good food. My only criticism is there was no water in the room and the room wasn't cheap.

This is our first stay at this hotel. We have family in Cockermouth we visit a few times a year. We were very disappointed with our stay. In the afternoon i ordered a Coronation chicken sandwich, it it had chunks of white stuff that was supposed to be chicken clearly processed with a slither of yellow sauce on the bread . I took a few bites of the bread and left it , I should have mentioned it but no one around to do so. The room was nice , the bed really comfortable, awful little flies flying around , my husband spent ages swotting them with his shoes. Breakfast ? well i think the least said about that the better

The rib eye steak at £35 is absurdly overcharged. A tiny piece of steak, some dry flavourless leaves from a bag and fries you can get in any pub. The mushroom tasted ok as did the grilled tomato. Take your money elsewhere. Two stars because the lad who served us was polite and friendly.

The Trout hotel in Cockermouth was absolutely amazing. From the friendly staff where nothing was too much trouble, to the comfy rooms and amazing views, this place is a gem. I can't wait to go back!
