Keswick.

A lively market town surrounded by Lakeland drama.

Keswick sits beside Derwentwater beneath the northern fells of the Lake District. Local picks make the outdoors feel accessible, mixing lakeshore walks and ancient landscapes with markets, museums and places to settle in after the weather turns.
