77 & 77A Bus
One of the great features of the valley and very handy for our cottage guests. The No 77 does a circuit of the Lorton, Buttermere and Borrowdale valleys, returning to Lorton via Keswick. It's a great asset for walkers who want to take a bus up the valley and walk home, for a mornings sightseeing or for getting about if you chose not to bring the car.
