Top things to do in Keswick, England
"We love this pub, not only for the wide variety of boozy drinks, but also for its quirky local name. Originally named the New Hall Inn, it became famous as The Hole in t’ Wall due to a gap in the brick that was knocked through so they could continue serving beer to blacksmith while they were working!. The wide array of cask ales, nice rum and over 20 gins – as well as good pub grub – make this a great place to end your evening after a full day exploring this stunning area."
"06/06/2021: Popped in for drinks on Friday evening and found the staff very friendly, atmosphere was pleasant. Nice area to sit outside in front of the pub. Top tip - get there before 9pm - currently last orders at 9pm due to staffing shortages."
"Pork pies, Scotch eggs, nuts & crisps, the Rule doesn’t bother too much with food, but that doesn’t stop it from being one of Ambleside ..."
"The Lake District National Park is famous for being home to the Romantic poets, especially Wordsworth. It is said to have provided inspiration for a lot of his poetry – looking around, it’s easy to see why. The entire landscape is peppered with perfect cottages, fields full of daffodils, rolling mountains, and dazzling lakes. The panoramas in The Lake District National Park will leave you hankering for more."
"The Lakes District is all shimmering lakes and craggy hilltops which attract over 15 million people each year. The Yorkshire Dales on the other hand is about the snaking rivers running though valleys of rolling green hills. It’s the perfect place to spend a few days stretching the muscle’s on a long walk or two."
"The car park in Waterhead can be the starting point for a picturesque two-hour walk in the ancient woodland above Ambleside, cresting at Jenkin Crag, a great vantage point above Windermere. Nearly all of the path is in thick woodland, and there are steps to make the going lighter on wet days. One of the loveliest sections guides you along the Ambleside Champion Tree Trail, which has England’s tallest grand fir."
"On the top floor of George Fisher, this attic cafe is great for a country lunch and one of the best places to eat in Keswick: try hot rarebit (toasted cheese on toast), mackerel paté or a classic baked spud. The space was once occupied by the Abraham brothers, early pioneers of Lakeland photography."

"This classic café-style restaurant is an independent bistro that serves fresh homemade British cuisine in a friendly environment. Resting right in the town centre, this is perfect for a spot of lunch after a day at the lakes and exploring Cumbria. Thyme Bistro is ideal for families and friends looking for a quick bite to eat or a delicious cake and coffee."
