Bassenthwaite Beck Wythop with RAF Jets, & a Sailing club enjoying some Canoeing & Paddle Boarding.
Channel: Freshwater Diving +

This site initially appears uninspiring until you take a closer look.  Access to the water for Paddle Power users & for those into Scuba.  A path takes you alongside this lake in both directions for walkers who love being close to the water with good views of RAF Jets, and for those Anglers looking to discover a new fishing spot.

Often described as the “Quiet Lake” – Bassenthwaite is rarely that!!
A lake for Rare Osprey birds of Prey, some Rare Vendace fish.
Great place for Wild Swimming, Paddle Boarding and Yachting too.

A great place to view from the ground, the RAF's thinderbirds roaring past, as you’ll see towards the end of this film. Please use the link below for the RAF time table. Cumbria is under LFA 20(T)
