From Buttermere we drove along Crummock water and up to Cockermouth. Although much of the town was closed for the evening we had a wander around. It seems like a lovely town, slightly larger than Keswick. There were lots of brightly coloured and cheery looking building among the many shops and restaurants. We decided to have dinner at a small pub called the bitter end which was associated with the smallest brewery in Cumbria. We had a sampling of the beers and chose and ale and a stout to have with dinner. After dinner we got caught in a small shower and saw a very nice rainbow. We walked around the town a bit more seeing the castle ruins and the factory of another brewery, Jennings before heading back to the car and back to Thornthwaite via the Whinlatter pass this time.
