With a population of less than 5,000, Keswick is a thriving 21st century tourist centre, situated in the beautiful Lake District on Derwent Water. This is the area of the North Lakes. In a landscape shaped by glaciers it is possible to escape the hustle and bustle of the modern world to relax and to enjoy the freedom and relaxation this area offers the visitor. Just a short distance from many of the industrialised cities of the north of England, the Lake District has remained one of the nation's favourite holiday destinations. Nestling in the picturesque valleys for which Cumbria is famous are holiday rentals to suit all budgets - cottages and lodges nestle among hills and trees. Writers such as Coleridge and Wordsworth stayed here and fell in love with the area. In 1835, Wordsworth wrote 'A Guide to The Lakes' which truly put the area on the tourist map. It was no coincidence that great painters such as Turner and Constable also felt inspired to immortalise the area in their paintings. This is an unforgettable area of England.
Visitors have flocked here for over 150 years – many returning time and time again. Today the little town of Keswick offers much to the visitor. There are art galleries, a museum, the Theatre By The Lake which is the home of summer productions, the Cars of the Stars Motor Museum as well as a pedestrianised market which is held in the main street on a Saturday.
Keswick welcomes visitors of all ages. Whatev

Storage heater central heating and an optional coal fire keep the house snug in the coldest of winters. Outside the patio is well equipped with seats and picnic tables and faces South with fabulous views over the valley and mountains. Let’s start wide and then narrow down… Yes, we’re in the Lake District, the most beautiful area of the country, with big mountains, delightful lakes and tarns, all the colourful history from the Ancient Britons with their stone circles, through the Romans with their forts and castles, to the Vikings and all those lovely place-names. And yes, there are hundreds of things to do: every sort of water sport; every sort of walk form the gentlest of strolls by the lake to the hardest of slogs up Scafell, or a hundred other mountains; loads of places to visit –castles, animal parks, narrow gauge railways, steam and mining museums, the Bassenthwaite Ospreys, Then there’s all those authors, -Beatrix Potter, Wordsworth, Coleridge and so on. But better than that, we’re very near Keswick, the jewel in the Lake District. A perfect town, between two lakes, -Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite. A town with all you could want, -cinema, a great theatre with a tremendous variety of shows, museums, art galleries, and the best outdoor equipment shopping centre in the country. Add in friendly pubs, where children and dogs are welcome, and bar meals good value; add in Lake Derwentwater, lapping at Keswick’s toes; add in the truly magnificent scenery, and there really can be nowhere better for a holiday. And we have two lovely big houses just thirty yards apart in the hamlet of Applethwaite, a couple of miles out of Keswick. Near enough for all the action; far enough out to be deep country, with quiet lanes, walks all over the place, and no hustle and bustle to spoil the magnificent atmosphere and views. Applethwaite was by-passed long before by-passes were invented, and has been ever since. It nestles at the foot of mighty Skiddaw, a 3000’ mountain, facing due south and soaking up all the sun that’s going. So there it is; two lovely houses in a beautiful hamlet, just a couple of miles from Keswick, the prettiest town in the Lake District, -the best holiday location in the country.
