Adventure into Keswick
Huddled beneath the massive bulk of Skiddaw is a compact town with neat grey stone buildings on the southern bank of the river Greta. Built on the alluvial plain between Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite Lake, Keswick is one of the area’s busiest and most vibrant locations. The town’s pubs, restaurants, cafes, independent shops and outdoor clothing shops surround the Moot Hall, a distinctive building in the central square which now accommodates the Tourist Information Centre.
Whether you want to explore the lakes and fells, discover the history of the region, have fun or just sit back and enjoy the wealth of art and culture that the Lake District has to offer, Keswick has something for everyone.
