Access to many of the walks on the surrounding fells and woodlands is just a five minute walk away. Keswick has a twice weekly market in the pedestrian area around the Moot Hall and hosts many annual festivals throughout the year ranging from the ’Mid-Summer Festival’ to jazz & blues, films, beer and mountain sports.
