Here's how you can do it from the village itself - it's 7 miles.

Morgana: Thank you so much! The directions are very helpful. Just now I was thinking of forming a new post about my itinerary -- Lake District and Yorkshire Dales.

I'm thinking about dropping a night in Keswick (from 3 to 2) and staying a night around Hawes. I don't know if this leaves enough time to do a walk around Derwent Water and also a day trip to Grasmere and Hill Top Farm in the Lake District. But if I don't drop a night I fear I'll regret not having an overnight on the Dales. Decisions, decisions.
