Buttermere sits in between Buttermere Lake and Crummock Water, two of the most beautiful stretches of water in the country. The village, for its size, has a surprising number of amenities including a pub, a hotel and restaurant, a cafe and ice-cream parlour. The village is an ideal base for exploring this most lovely part of the world, particularly for fell walkers wanting to explore the high and low fells that surround the village.

Buttermere is on the western side of the central Lake District. The two market towns of Cockermouth and Keswick are within easy reach of Buttermere. Borrowdale is just over the nearby Honister pass and immediately above the village is the road leading over the Newlands Pass into the Newlands Valley. Junction 40 of the M6 and Penrith are easily reached via the A66 road in about 45 minutes by car. Buttermere is served by the Honister Rambler bus route.
