The Lake District and Keswick
Located in the Northern Lake District, Keswick is only 18 miles away from the M6, but a world away from the ever increasing pace of the rat race. Here you can relax and enjoy the contrasting attractions of a lively holiday town and magnificent surrounding landscape, where even at the height of the season you can still find peace and tranquility.
Situated on the Northern shores of Derwentwater, Keswick has many attractions - a famous theatre, museums and galleries, fascinating shops for browsing and buying, restaurants and cafes offering everything from chips to cordon bleu!
Water sports, golf, walking, mountain biking, climbing and pony trekking are just a few of the activities to enjoy in the natural beauty of Keswick's surrounding countryside.
Within 8 miles there are five of the most beautful Lakeland lakes - Derwentwater, Bassenthwaite, Thirlmere, Buttermere and Crummock Water. These are easily approached either by car or even the local buses.
For those who prefer a less energetic holiday there are regular cruise trips on Derwentwater, bus tours of the area, and the area boasts many fine houses and gardens, with links such as Wordsworth and Southey ...In other words, something for everyone, all year round!
