Keswick is world-renowned as a jewel in the Lake District. It’s an energetic and vibrant small town with an atmosphere all of its own. There’s a twice weekly market, a great selection of outdoor and independent shops and even its own stunningly situated theatre and an art deco cinema all within an easy potter of Coledale. To keep young families amused, there is a climbing wall and an excellent play park all just a short walk from the door while the foodies among you can enjoy a fantastic choice of restaurants, pubs and cafes.
If you're a bit of an outdoor enthusiast, the walking opportunities here are endless. From gentle strolls along Derwentwater’s shore, to small but rewarding fells like Latrigg and even on to Lake District giants such as Skiddaw, all of this is available right outside. History buffs will love the ancient Castlerigg Stone Circle on the edge of the town while nearby Mirehouse is a stately home with wonderful gardens and literary connections to explore. Why not make use of glorious Derwentwater during your visit? A picturesque cruise on a heritage launch, a trip around the islands in a romantic rowing boat or a brisk wild swim could be in order! However you choose to spend your visit, this apartment puts you at the heart of all that Keswick has to offer.
