The Lakes, your way

To most visitors, it is the magnificence of the lakes which brings that special distinction to the scenery. Their ever changing nature, light and reflections transform the countryside, whatever the weather.

Keswick is a town with plenty of character. Wander its bustling streets and you’ll find independent shops, cosy cafés, lively pubs, galleries and local makers, all set against a backdrop of mountains and lake.

From ancient woodland and shady trails to towering forests and open fellside, there are plenty of places to wander, breathe and take in the changing seasons.

The fells around Keswick are made for adventure. Rising from the shores of the lake, they offer everything from gentle hillside strolls to exhilarating climbs, with sweeping views at every turn.

What is within a day of Keswick — the other lakes, the market towns, Carlisle and the Cumbrian coast — with the distance and the bus that gets you there.
