Keswick ... "The Jewel in the Lake District Crown"

This beautiful market town on the north shore of Derwent Water is a must see for any visitor to the Lakes. Dating way back to the 13th century, Keswick's history is fascinating. This small town produced the worlds first pencil ... and the pencil industry remains today, including the Cumberland Pencil Museum and the world's largest pencil.

It's quaint streets, narrow alleys and great restaurants and bars are a joy to wander and visit. Keswick has an annual Beer Festival, Jazz Festival and a Film Festival which keep the town very busy in summer. As a starting point, Keswick could not be better. It's centrally located, ideal for walkers wanting to trek the mountains of Skidaw, Great Calve and Saddleback.

For Photographers and artists it's location on the shore of Derwent Water could not be better and is one reason why visitors come back here time and time again. On Saturdays the Town center is the location for the Keswick street market where visitors can buy anything from local fresh produce to jewellery, art and bric a brac. .

Is Fly Fishing your passion?

If you are looking for great fly fishing, then look no further than the Lake District.

Trout, Salmon and a host of other great river and lake fish are waiting for you.

Check out our Fly Fishing pages for tips, locations, and information. For shear diversity the Lake District must come top of any Fly Fishermans list. We have great lakes, a coastline to die for and our rivers are noted for their regular 20lb salmon catches. We also have EBooks available on a range of fly related topics. See our pages for more information.

Take a look at our camp site pages. The lake district offers camp sites for all people at all times of the year, whatever the season. There are simple farm sites that take just a handful of visitors to sprawling landscaped caravan parks with swimming pools, bars, and restaurants. There are sites off the beaten track that need a map and compass to locate them and there are sites close by towns like Windermere and Keswick, ideal for nipping in to at night for a drink and a meal.

We have split them in to North and South Lakes for ease. Each one has a key to identify the main facilities. Contact details and website addresses are also included. All we ask is that when contacting the sites you mention Lake District Discovered ... that way the site becomes more popular and we can create a bigger and better site for you the visitor.

Good Luck on your next camping trip to the Lakes
