Hotels in Bassenthwaite, Cumbria

Including 2 Historic Hotels

Bassenthwaite Heritage Snapshot
The church of St Bega in Bassenthwaite must be one of the beautifully situated in Cumbria. Certainly Alfred, Lord Tennyson was inspired by the church, and describes it in the opening lines of his epic poem, 'Morte d'Arthur'. The church dates to at least 950 AD, and possibly marks the spot where the Irish nun, St Bega stayed in the 7th century.
