Keswick
- Admission:Free
Keswick (pronounced “Kezick”), situated at the uppermost tip of Derwentwater, is the hub of the northern part of the Lake District. There are a few local points of interest, but attractions like the Pencil Museum are unlikely to detain you long and this market town functions best as a point of departure for tours of the magnificent nearby countryside.
Walking tours range from sedate circumnavigations of Derwentwater to a more demanding stroll up Skiddaw, one of England’s highest mountains. And once you’ve hung up your hiking boots, Keswick’s traditional pubs offer fine ale and hearty meals.
