--- title: "Mosedale, Mungrisdale and Hesket Newmarket | Visit Keswick, Lake District" url: https://visitkeswick.com/explore/neighbouring-villages/mosedale-and-mungrisdale description: "Three hamlets north-east of Keswick under Carrock Fell and Blencathra, with a co-operative pub and its own brewery at Hesket Newmarket." --- ## Three small places Mosedale is a hamlet beneath Carrock Fell, about four miles off the A66 between Keswick and Penrith and a twenty-minute drive from the town. Through the summer the Quaker Meeting House opens as a shop selling cakes and crafts made by local people — the opening dates and times go up on the village noticeboard. Mungrisdale is a small fellside village a couple of miles off the same road. It makes a base not only for the Lake District but for days out to Carlisle, Hadrian’s Wall, the Scottish borders and the Eden Valley. Neither village is on a bus route into Keswick. [Getting around](https://visitkeswick.com/visitor-info/getting-to-keswick) has what services there are. A red telephone box beside stone village houses on a quiet road ## A pub owned by its village Hesket Newmarket is an attractive village in the Caldbeck fells, mostly eighteenth-century houses clustered round a five-acre village green. There is a shop and tea room, and a pub. The pub is owned by a co-operative of more than a hundred local people and supporters, and serves beer brewed by the Hesket Newmarket Brewery in the buildings behind it.

A lovely walk from Mosedale climbs to [Bowscale Tarn](https://visitkeswick.com/do/walking-routes/bowscale-tarn) , an isolated tarn under the fell, and comes back down through the valley.
