About Keswick, the Lake District

Keswick is a small market town in the Northern Lake District which is encircled by the grandeur of the high fells and lying on the shores of picturesque Derwentwater. An idyllic location not only for all season walking, climbing, sailing, mountain biking, fell running and cycling but also provides a wealth of low level paths and less arduous fells for those who want to take things easier.
