Keswick on Derwentwater
If you dream of escaping to a place where mighty mountains tower above deep blue lakes, where history has left incredible tales for you to unfold, where England’s great poets and authors were inspired to write their finest works, where you can find fantastic arts and entertainment and where a whole family can relax together in a natural playground … come to Keswick where you will see the beauty of the English Lake District is at its best.
We’ve got some of the highest mountains and the Lake District’s only real ‘lake’ right beside a thriving market town. Every season brings its own kaleidoscope of colour but a warm welcome is guaranteed whatever the weather.
Keswick on Derwentwater is in the heart of the northern lakes and a perfect base for your holiday.

A THRIVING MARKET TOWN
Market Place, home to the ancient Moot Hall and its peculiar one-handed clock, is at the heart of Keswick town centre.
It’s a good place to start any visit and where the twice weekly market, on Saturdays and Thursdays, attracts thousands of people.
There has been a market in Keswick (Cese Wic in Old English, meaning Cheese Farm) since Edward I granted a charter for the market in 1276.
And there are shops galore. There are probably more outdoor shops in Keswick than can be found in any other market town in Britain, so it’s a great place to get kitted out for your adventures.
There’s also an amazing variety of small independent shops and galleries to be found mainly in the side streets running from Market Place.
