I had a few days in Seatoller near Keswick earlier this month. Very quiet but nice local walks.
Went up Haystacks near Buttermere which is nice but generally I like Keswick as plenty to do and lots of nearby place to go Fell walking, Cat Bells, Causey Pike etc. which are nice and gentle and quite scenic.
