Not many straights on the B5289 but there is this one between Seatoller and Rosthwaite. The end of the Borrowdale Fells on near right and the craggy tops of the various moderate fells behind Stonethwaite/Rosthwaite behind on the left.
Down from the heights of the Honister Pass to Gatesgarth Farm. High Crag, High Stile and Red Pike form the background.
Generally not a single track road, the B5289 is nevertheless quite narrow alongside Buttermere and Crummock Water (as here) and passing places are provided.
Two ways to Keswick. Via the Honister Pass on the B5289 or via Newlands Hause on an unclassified road.
