Make the day your own
A day in Keswick can begin on a path out of town and end at a theatre, museum or market. Derwentwater, the fells and the surrounding valleys are close enough to let you choose how far you want to go.
You need not plan every hour. Find a walk that suits your group, try something new on the water or keep a rainy-day idea in reserve. These stories offer a starting point; the places and activities below bring the options together.
