Why Keswick matters
Keswick is a classic Lake District base: a small slate-built market town with outdoor shops, cafes and a lake at the end of the road. From here you can take a gentle shore path around Derwentwater, climb a popular fell such as Catbells, or visit the ancient Castlerigg stone circle. Rain is common, but that is part of why the valleys are so green.
Talking points
- Derwentwater is ringed by fells and wooded islands.
- Castlerigg is one of the best-known prehistoric stone circles in England.
- Catbells is a famous short climb with a big payoff.
- Boat trips run across the lake.
