01
Enjoy local culture, wildlife, and scenery with the Lake
District National Park. Their programme of events and
guided walks run from Easter to the end of October and
include everything from family days out to fell hikes.
One
Go with a guide
02
03
Two
Walk by a lake
Three
Take a walk on the wild side
Follow the scenic 10 mile waymarked walk around
Derwentwater or for a shorter alternative enjoy a
delightful 4 mile stroll around Buttermere beginning
and ending in the hamlet of the same name. Explore the
shoreline of Thirlmere or walk past historic Mirehouse
to the ancient St Bega’s Church on the shores of
Bassenthwaite Lake.
Keswick is a great place to visit if you love wildlife.
Red squirrels and deer can be seen in the woods and
forests. View the Bassenthwaite Ospreys through
telescopes in Dodd Wood or via the webcam display
at the Whinlatter Visitor Centre. Keep your eyes
out for other birds of prey too such as buzzards and
peregrines. Also spot our resident Herdwick sheep.
04
Four
Walk ‘n’ Ride
Keswick is well served by buses which are particularly
useful for linear walks, exploring the local valleys
and villages and for viewing our fantastic scenery.
Using both the bus and the Keswick Launch on
Derwentwater gives you the opportunity to enjoy car
free days whilst you are here.
