Accommodation
We like to recommend you good quality, friendly, well run accommodation spots. We like the following:
Central Keswick hotel at the Edwardene, friendly, great food, family run.
Superb self-catering cottages, hand picked and in great locations; www.sallyscottages.co.uk
Vivid Events at Denton House is a great place to stay to visit the Lakes on a budget. Just 5 mins walk from the centre of Keswick, they are an independent version of the YHA. www.vividevents.co.uk
Things to do and see
The Puzzling Place - something to do on a wet day in Keswick? Try this museum of optical illusions. Great fun for all the family and a fab spot to get those hard-to-buy-for Christmas presents! www.puzzlingplace.co.uk
Vivid Events - climbing, abseiling, ghyll scrambling, canoeing - if you want a day out with your own instructor, these are the chaps to contact. Also do stag/hen parties - one of the few who do in this area. www.vividevents.co.uk
Resources around Keswick and for Lake District and Cumbrian history
Rob Grange Photography - most of the best shots on this website and in our literature have been taken by Rob - he specialises in large panoramic shots of the Lakes. You will find he gets some unusual takes on classic views, especially when he takes to the air in his paraglider. Good for weddings too. www.robgrange.com
