Keswick is the main town of the northern Lake District and one of the finest walking bases in England. The town sits between Derwentwater and the massive bulk of Skiddaw, with Catbells rising directly across the lake, Blencathra to the east and the glorious Borrowdale valley stretching south.

A large, well-equipped market town with outstanding fell access in every direction, Keswick is perfect for multi-day walking holidays. The launch service on Derwentwater allows creative circular routes across the lake.
