Walking Guide to Keswick and The Lake District
Keswick and the Northern Lake District fells are renowned as a centre of excellence for walkers and hikers. From flat strolls along the old railway line, over the beautiful bridges and past the meandering River Derwent, to gruelling hikes over some of the toughest (and highest) fells in England the area has something for everyone.
By kind permission of walking guide Paul Buttle we have listed varying degrees of walks (these are only a few examples). There is a local travel section which gives bus (and launch) routes and timetables. We also have a guide to places to eat while out on your day trip. There is a weather forecast and weathercams, showing live views of different areas in Borrowdale valley.
Please be careful of the changing Lake District weather conditions. The weather on the fell tops can be very harsh compared to the valleys. Please take the correct clothing with you, a map, water and food. For fell top walking weather information call the Lake District National Park weatherline on 017687 75757
Have a browse through the views to see mountain top virtual tours from around the area. There are photographs by local photographers and live webcams from Keswick and Borrowdale.
