Keswick is a picturesque market town which sits proudly at
the edge of Derwentwater 'Queen of the English lakes' and is
overlooked
by Skiddaw and the other surrounding fells. The town hosts
a wide variety of restaurants, pubs and tea rooms and a large
selection of shops including a host of mountaineering outlets.
There are also museums and art galleries as well as The Puzzle
Place if the weather is wet.
A gentle stroll from Keswick will take you to the Theatre
by the lake on the way you will pass the pitch and put and
crazy golf courses (for the more experienced golfer Keswick
Golf club is only a 4 mile drive away - click
here for website).
From the lakeshore by the theatre you can catch a launch
which will take you round the lake and drop you off at any
of the 6 landing stages from where you can access the fells.
Other activities available locally include sailing, windsurfing,
horse riding, rock climbing and much more.
For the more laid back visitor we can advise you on a variety
of picturesque gentle walks or sight-seeing tours. The Keswick
Leisure pool is also only 5 minutes walk from Lyndhurst
For the lovers of flowers we are sure you will not be disappointed
with the parks and gardens as Keswick is a past winner of
'Britain in Bloom'
All in all Keswick has something to offer every visitor....
you will not be disappointed.
