Keswick, as the northern Lake District's tourist hub, is a great destination any time of year. Derwentwater, a beautiful lake at the head of the stunning Borrowdale Valley, is only a few minutes' walk from the town centre, and it also features numerous shops and restaurants to cater to a wide range of tastes, as well as miniature golf, excellent parks, a charming cinema, the Pencil Museum, a climbing wall, fishing, and great mountain biking opportunities. Between Braithwaite and Buttermere sits the gorgeous Newlands Valley, and Bassenthwaite Lake is a must-see for its beauty. There are walks for everyone, from easy strolls across the countryside to strenuous climbs of Skiddaw or the well-known Catbells. Take a fantastic boat excursion around Derwentwater, see the impressive Castlerigg Stone Circle, and relax in the beautiful grounds and mansion at Mirehouse, located on the shores of Bassenthwaite Lake. This is a fantastic Lake District destination year-round because to its many family-friendly attractions, beautiful parks, and proximity to the Lake District Wildlife Park.
