Keswick is one of the most popular parts of the Lake District and it’s not hard to see why. This beautiful market town is filled with quintessential slate buildings, sits on Derwentwater and the River Greta, and has lots on offer for all tastes.
The area is perhaps best known for its outdoor pursuits. There are walks galore: gentle river and lakeside strolls, beginner mountain hikes such as Catbells, and challenging fells such as Skiddaw. There is also a huge array of guides offering adventure activities such as ghyll scrambling, wild swimming, boating and climbing.
If you’re after a guided adventure for any of the above activities and more, try getting in touch with Keswick Adventures – they’re great fun and you’ll have a fantastic time with them.
If you’re after a gentler time, the town itself has lots of options including shops, eateries, a theatre, an Art Deco cinema, swimming pool, indoor climbing wall, museums, and pretty parks. Or why not jump onto the Keswick Launch to explore Derwentwater?
Beyond Keswick, there is even more with unlimited walking options, stately homes, wildlife reserves, a forest park, spas, birdwatching, fishing, golfing, the seaside… the list goes on!
You can get around by foot, bike or public transport. There are lots of bus links that serve the area throughout the year.
