3 Nights in Braithwaite: Pubs, Lakes & Christmas Magic in the Campervan

Join us for our third and final video from our pre‑Christmas campervan getaway — and our last adventure of 2025! This time we’re in the beautiful village of Braithwaite in the Lake District, staying at the Braithwaite Village Camping & Caravanning Club Site for a cosy 3‑night winter break. During our stay we explored some fantastic local spots including: 🍺 The Royal Oak ☕ Jaspers Coffee House 🍽️ The Coledale Inn 🚂 Bassenthwaite Lake Station — complete with breakfast aboard the replica Orient Express 🌲 Whinlatter Forest — walks with Roxy I also took a festive wander into Keswick, enjoyed the winter scenery, we also picked up our Christmas Dinner, and finally drove home on Christmas Day. If you enjoy cosy winter vanlife, Lake District adventures, dog‑friendly trips, or discovering great local pubs and cafés — this one’s for you. 📍 Links & Addresses Braithwaite Village - Camping and Caravanning Club Site Braithwaite, Cumbria, CA12 5TF https://www.campingandcaravanningclub...
