Come to Keswick and the Northern Lakes – the Adventure Capital of the Lake District. With Scafell Pike, Helvellyn and Skiddaw all within easy reach enjoy the mountains, fells, crags and lakes. Whether it is hill walking, scrambling, rock climbing, cycling or water sports Keswick provides an ideal base.
Our Outdoor Activity Providers can help you fulfil your dreams and have the holiday of a lifetime. Join one of the daily guided walks or book a guide to take you hiking on your own. Gain confidence on the hills on a Navigation Course learning how to use map and compass and gps. For a higher adrenalin experience try gill scrambling or trek up Helvellyn by way of Striding Edge; learn to rock climb or go mountain biking. On a rest day why not try a spot of fishing?
There is so much to do for adults or children that you’ll have to book to come again! And don’t forget Keswick Mountain Festival takes place in May, with opportunities to try all these activities along with slide shows films and other events.
