wonderful and we love the Keswick pastys in the bakers mshop freshly made

me and my little family visit Keswick every year. we try to visit at least 3 times. love the town centre. the people are very friendly. plenty of fantastic pubs. love the bus ride from the Royal Oak to Keswick. past the mines . beautiful views . been twice this year. next visit will be summer break. . see you soon Keswick

best place in England slate mine climbing was excellent would love to go again

Went to Keswick to tackle the Via Ferrata Extreme at Honister .... Would highly recommend doing this to anybody seeking adventure with a little fear factor thrown in .... it was fantastic .... loved Keswick .... Next time I go I'm taking my dog lol .... never seen so many in one place .... Only thing that let it down was the weather .... it rained solid all the tine we were there.

We loved being in Keswick. We stayed two nights with our French bulldog at lodge in the vale. Everywhere was so dog friendly as we could take our little pup anywhere - there's plenty of nice pubs with good pub food and loads of walks to enjoy - we will deffo be coming back!

We are staying at Slate Knoll a self catering maisonnette in the centre of Keswick. Absolutely home from home immaculate, cosy perfect base to explore the northern lakes. Car parking, supermarket within walking distance . Thank you to owner Isobel and Alison for the welcome cake on arrival. Will stay here again perfect!

The only downside to visiting the Lake District today is the disgraceful price of car parking £7 for six hrs.

Sorry to have post this but come on that is just extortion !!! 👎👎👎

Half that price would be acceptable 50p an hour for as long as you like !!!

Lovely stay in Keswick with my husband after a hectic Christmas..stayed in the King's Arms..Market Square..would highly recommend this establishment..very friendly staff and fab breakfast..Also recommend 18/20 Cellar bar..we had a lovely evening meal..staff were also very friendly...We will definitely return �

Loved our day in Keswick with family who live half hour away from there ,beautiful scenery and loved feeding the ducks geese at Derwent water ,love the Chocolate shop and cake shop,pity the Ice Cream Kiosk was closed but will have one when hubby and I visit again a beautiful place .

Love our visits to Keswick and Friday was such a perfect day

Keswick the tourists most visited site. I love going either for a days shopping or to walk and see the beautiful sites. Every where is friendly and I hope you like dogs as Keswick loves them. Visit the many parks, they are kept to a very high standard and there is always lots of activities going on. You can get a fantastic meal and a pint at the many pubs or enjoy the delights of home baking in the cafes plus the chip shop which is a must to visit . There are plenty of parking places and lots to do and see . Take a trip on the ferry and visit where Beatrix Potter lived, go sailing , play crazy golf .... the list of things to see are endless

Just back after another lovely week in Keswick. It never disappoints. Very easy to feel fully comfortable with the dogs, were made welcome everywhere, with the exception of Weatherspoons of course!! Just one niggle this year, it’s early October and busy, as always. We managed to get in the Royal Oak twice before it was closed for refurbishments, disappointing. The Derwentwater likewise in Portinscale, as the pub was not open at all tried for a drink in their garden, and, having refurbishment! The sports bar, Legends? Closed for refurbishment. These things need doing but early October? Surely after the end of the month would have been a better plan. Scaffolding and skips everywhere we looked,nice to see that the town is doing so well but did put a downer on things for us

It’s easy to think why people fall in love with Keswick and keep on returning, with its breathtaking views and plentiful walks, great friendly pubs and not forgetting the market it’s a perfect holiday to be had by all ... �

I have stayed in keswick twice a year for the past 9 years with my dog, I also like to fit in two or three day trips in between. Keswick is such a friendly place for both human and dogs. If you are lucky you can sometimes find free street parking only if you are lucky but failing that you can park all day for £3 in either the rugby or football ground with the proceeds going straight to them. Keswick has been through two bad floods but they have been resilient and come together and got the town back on its feet, but at the same time they also rely on the tourists to help build those businesses back up. There is also the fanastic scenery to look at and all within walking distance.

I have been coming to Keswick for over 20 Years and have enjoyed every minute. Yes it rains but we have also had beautiful weather. Favourite place the bench at Friars Craig, could sit there for hours. Climbed Catbells many times and love walking around Derwentwater but there are lots of fabulous walks to do. We stay in Greta side self catering apartments which has a parking place which is a bonus and a 2 minute walk from the High street. Will be coming back for the next 20 Years. Would love to move here one day.

Had a great day out we drove around the lake and found a little spot to park and walk down to the lake where the weather and water was beautiful bit of paradise in England we also visit derwent waterfall hadn't been there for around 15 year and it still took my breath away recommend this lake if you want to find a secluded area to go for a paddle

Great place to visit, great that it's dog friendly in shops and pubs , had lunch in the dog and gunn which was great, have worked in Keswick and always like to to come back with the family for days out . Only a short drive from our home to the lakes

On our way back for two weeks vacation first came 56 years ago in July

Love the lakes but hate the weather always rains when we come up never see much sun been raining since 4.30this morning hasent stopped yet now 3pm afternoon come on sun where are you
