on a bus or boat to find what’s hidden in the surrounding countryside.
If you are looking for a little bit of the best of everything that the English Lake District has to offer, then Keswick has it all.
It’s a thriving town with a twice weekly market, sitting beside Derwentwater where you can admire one of the finest views in Europe and enjoy easy access to some of the highest mountains in England.
Some of our greatest poets, authors and artists made their home here in the past and it is a magnet for the creative and cultured individual today.
One of the best ways to get your bearings for Keswick and the surrounding area is to take a tour of our lake - Derwentwater - on one of the traditional passenger boats.
Keswick Launch Company run a regular service from the boat landings which takes you either clockwise or anti-clockwise on a 50 minute tour of the lake. You can hop on and off at the six stops to explore the treasures around the lakeshore and it’s the easiest way to get to the foot of Catbells (481m). There’s also a bus service that runs both sides of the lake.
