An amazing place to walk around, with great views. But make sure that you set off early as it takes a good few hours to do the full circle as we found out due to having to go a longer way due to flooding. However we did manage to get these amazing photos of the lake.

Great quick summit trip for our 1st trip to the lakes. The sunset was amazing from up there too. Was a little busy for our liking, but there was an excellent view all around and the colours of the sunset.

Upon stepping through the fence, an immediate sense of peace and spaciousness washed over me. Something in the air felt different — as if it carried a quiet pull, connecting me not just to the mountains and fields, but to the animals, the wind, and perhaps even something greater, something beyond. The kids ran free for nearly an hour — climbing, tagging, laughing — while I utterly absorbed in the vast embrace of the surrounding peaks. As the sun dipped low, its golden light spilled over the landscape, turning every stone and blade of grass into something sacred. If you’re seeking a spiritual experience, this is the place to be. On a weekday around 6 p.m., parking was easy, the crowd sparse, and for a brief, perfect moment, we had the entire space to ourselves. In that stillness, the world felt both endless and intimate.

We visited The Lakes Distillery when in the Lake District this past weekend. What a great experience. The distillery is located in a beautiful location (very scenic). Our friends had a tasting and the gentleman that was helping us on Friday afternoon was extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Great experience. We had drinks and snacks in the Bistro and they staff was very friendly. Great atmosphere. The Lakes Distillery is a must visit if you are in the Lake District and enjoy whiskey, vodka, or gin. We loved our visit and highly recommend.

Well worth a visit! The holograms are incredible. Staff are very friendly and welcoming .

We only visited the shop & walked around but there are so many activities here. It’s set in a beautiful area with fantastic views. The parking is only £5 a day with plenty of spaces and you can walk miles.

We saw Di and Viv and Rose at Theatre by the Lake and it was one of the best theatre performances I’ve ever seen. The stage is set in the round, which means everyone gets a great view and very different to more traditional theatres. The cast was phenomenal. The story had me both laughing and crying. It’s funny, heartfelt, and beautifully performed. The staff at the theatre were absolutely lovely - so helpful and welcoming, they really added to the whole experience. We had such a great night out and if i ever visit Keswick again, i'll definitely be going to the theatre again.

Heard about this from a friend and originally thought I was having my leg pulled. Surely there couldn't be an entire museum dedicated solely to the humble pencil? How wrong was I! This is the real deal and a seriously good trip out for children and adults alike. Takes you on a journey through the history of pencils, from beginning as a lump of graphite wrapped in leather used by shepherds to mark their sheep (see I really was paying attention), right up to the present day and the seemingly endless range of artists pencils now available. The addition of a quiz sheet for everyone even the adults seemed a bit odd at first. But it was an absolute genius move that compelled everyone to engage with the exhibits in search of answers. I don't think I saw anybody not frantically scribbling down answers with the pencil that doubled as their entry ticket. No spoilers but the last question will properly test your pencil skills. World longest (and I would guess largest) pencil, and a collection of micro pencil sculptures are other highlights. My only disappointment here was that they had sold out of the replica wartime map and compass pencil. A fascinating item that made a genuine and important contribution to our own history. If you are visiting Keswick purely for the museum then use the on site parking. It is slightly cheaper than the in town option. The museum does get busy and there was barely any elbow room as people gathered around some of the exhibits, so you need to be prepared to share a bit of personal space. But if you are okay with that then there really is every reason to recommend a visit.

Great place. Great location. Suitable for all. Outstanding bird of prey show (on twice a day), returning in future on strength of this alone. Buy feed bags on entry for the goats, sheep, donkeys, pigs and alpacas. Restaurant is very reasonably priced and despite being advised a 30 minute wait, it was only 5 mins. For those who can't walk far, the distance around the park is reasonable, flat and plenty of places to sit for a rest. Looking forward to seeing how the Bald Eagle training develops, and learn about Vultures... inspired. Enjoy it here, got a great feel to it, outstanding scenery, relaxed and take the scenic route back!

To find something really good and free in the UK is a rarity these days. OK- so parking is not free if you choose to park, and the cafe is not free either. But the use of the well marked and maintained trails is free. There are bike trails for all abilities. There are great walking trails, too. I'll definitely be back.

Had a great day out playing crazy golf with the children, despite the on and off rain the children still had a great time. We then went on the boats, you can pay cash or card for these and they are just next to the crazy golf hut.

visited with my partner at The Lingholm Estate and it was such a fun experience! Our guide was very lovely and chatty! even took photos for us. Can’t praise her and this whole experience enough!

First lake I visited in the lake district and it doesn't disappoint at all, absolutely phenomenal views, overall perfect, the walk along the lake and around area is just absolutely unreal. I found my inner peace here the second I was their.

Small but interesting museum and art gallery with a few activities for kids to do, great also as paying once let's you visit again for a year. Nice dog friendly cafe with lovely staff which leads outside also toilets and a lift between the two floors

A wonderful visit! Staff and volunteers were knowledgeable and engaging and showed a real pride to be there. I thoroughly enjoyed the railway and learning about its history and its exciting future. The museum was jam packed with information, exhibits, photographs and artefacts along with a quaint little gift shop. The quarry had tons of interesting and historic vehicles and equipment a short walk from the museum. Plenty of space for parking with a few benches to sit outside. Based on the customer service and the amount of stuff to see, I would highly recommend visiting!
