Sunnyside Guest House, Keswick
Keswick
Keswick's stunning setting and fast-growing reputation as England's adventure Capital makes it the ideal location for a break in the Lakes.
There is something for everyone - whether you're here to walk like Wainwright, soar like an Osprey or enjoy the views that inspired Wordsworth, Ruskin, Coleridge and Southey to write and Turner and Constable to paint.
Keswick is a thriving market town with a rich variety of shops, galleries and attractions and is a great place to find that special something.
Mountain summits, forest trails and lakeside paths - Keswick has them all in abundance - so its no surprise that you can enjoy almost any outdoor pursuit during your stay.
Take a stroll to Derwentwater, hop on one of the beautiful wooden launches and enjoy a breathtaking boat journey.
As the town centre is mainly pedestrianised, it is a great place to amble, browse and shop with the busiest shopping days being Thursday and Saturday when the market comes to town.
Plus there are antique shops, second hand bookshops and galleries specialising in local artists' painting, photography and pottery.
Local produce is everywhere and food lovers can have a field day savouring all that's great about the area including cheeses, bacon and sausage, chocolates and local beers.
Take in a play at the Theatre by the Lake or a film at the Alhambra. Or learn about the area's history in one of the many museums or enjoy the tranquillity of the many churches.
With so much to see, do, experience and enjoy you'll not make a better choice for you break or longer stay than Keswick.
