	Bassenthwaite Lake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bassenthwaite Lake is located in the Lake District in England.

	Lakeland Landscape - Bassenthwaite Lake (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Bassenthwaite Lake lies in the north west of the Lake District, just a short distance north from the market town of Keswick.
		Bassenthwaite Lake remains largely unspoilt as it is not as accessible as the more central lakes (much of the shoreline is privately owned), and nearby Derwentwater attracts the attention of most visitors to this corner of Lakeland.
		The mightily impressive Skiddaw lies to the east, and on the scree slope of Barf Fell near Thornthwaite is the Bishop of Barf, a craggy outcrop which is painted white by the landlord and locals of the nearby Swan Hotel.
