Keswick

Keswick…
the OUTDOOR ADVENTURE capital of Britain

Keswick is the perfect location for a Mountain Festival with its stunning scenery, unrivalled setting and its natural arena  for adventure. It’s home to some of the most dramatic landscapes in Britain with its spectacular array of mountains, valleys, lakes and tarns, all within such a compact area. Close at hand are the four highest mountains in England, each over 3000 feet high.

The market town of Keswick offers an all round holiday experience. There’s a wide range of shops, galleries, attractions and outdoor activities and at the end of an action packed day – a wide choice of restaurants and pubs; the renowned Theatre by the Lake and the Alhambra Cinema.

Access for All

The Lake District National Park Authority has put together ‘Miles without Stiles’ routes, ideal for those in wheelchairs, buggies or who find walking a challenge. There are 21 simple short options to give a blast of fresh air without tramping for hours or negotiating stiles. All routes have been ‘road tested’ by local residents using wheelchairs, and a grading scheme has been adopted in terms of surface quality and gradient.
