Go for a leisurely stroll in Fitz Park, just across the river, which has tennis courts, bowling greens, putting and a swimming pool great if entertaining little ones.

For a wild swim or a boat trip, walk 1 mile to Derwentwater, where you can book a cruise or head out on your own lake trip. If exploring on two wheels is more your thing, hire bikes in Keswick and ride the Keswick to Threlkeld Trail, visit Whinlatter Forest (5 miles) or hop on the Skiddaw Loop, which begins in the market square.
