Walking and Walk Leaders

On Castle Head

During busy times we endeavour to provide a Walk Leader, at no extra charge, who will have ideas for everyone; and with our large, efficient drying room you don’t even need to worry about the weather!

 

Keswick provides an ideal base for those who wish to discover the delights of the Lake District: almost nowhere in the National Park is more than an hour’s drive away. The obvious way to explore is on foot and there are countless high– and low-level walks to suit all ages and levels of fitness, many from the house. Starting points for routes up the highest mountains in England are within easy reach.

Walking

Between Easter and the end of October you will always be able to join a guided walk, even if our leaders are not here, with the Keswick Ramblers who charge just a small fee. Walks start daily from the Moot Hall, see www.keswickrambles.co.uk for more details.

Bar and games room:

For evening entertainment we have a residents bar (opened on request during busy periods), and adults and children can play table tennis in the games room at any time.

Not too keen on walking?

Keswick offers a wide selection of attractions in and around the town centre from excellent shops, good eating-places with quality pub and restaurant food on offer at reasonable prices to cater for all your tastes. There is even a cinema showing some of the latest releases.

Keswick's attractions include the highly acclaimed Theatre by the Lake, the famous Pencil Museum, the Cars of the Stars Museum, the Keswick Climbing Wall and Keswick Leisure Pool. There are also delightful parks and gardens, including Hope Park and its mini-golf course, which is next to Lakeside House.
