01 02 Keswick’s Enduring Appeal Keswick Tourism Association (formerly known as the Keswick Town Publicity Association) has been producing a Keswick Guide for many years. In several of the later editions (1950’s), Hugh Walpole, author of the “Herries” chronicles and resident of Brackenburn, Manesty, said, “Make Keswick your headquarters, climb Helvellyn by moonlight, or see the sun rise over Gable, and you will not doubt the truth of that word (beauties).” The origins of today's tourism industry began in the late 18 th C when the first visitors started to arrive encouraged by the area's close connections with famous writers such as Coleridge, Ruskin, Wordsworth and Southey and popularity with artists such as Turner and Constable. A 1783 Travellers' Guide stated 'Keswick receives great benefit from the resort of gentry to see the romantic lakes and mountains that surround it'. As war in Europe brought 'The Grand Tour' to an end and roads began to improve, numbers of visitors increased. In the 1860's the building of the Cockermouth, Keswick and Penrith railway line led to a dramatic increase in visitors and Keswick began to be transformed from a small market town to the thriving tourist centre it is today. – Did you know? – Copies date back as far as 1928 in the KTA office. 03 01.

05 06 – A quote from an old guide – Not a few visitors reaching Keswick from other parts of the Lake District exclaim: Why did we not come here earlier, in fact at first? Why forsooth, the answer is apparent: they did not know Keswick. They will be wiser another time. 07 visitkeswick.com 07
