Theatre by the Lake is a delightful theatre in Keswick. As well as performances, stop here to use the cafe and shop facilities.
Under Starry Skies - Friar's Crag
Departure from Keswick (Cumberland)
This is such a short walk, but it serves a purpose. With International Astronomy Day falling on 12th October, this short stroll will take you to a local viewpoint very close to Keswick where you can leave the light pollution behind and watch the stars from this perfect spot.
Walks near Theatre by the Lake
Cat Bells, Maiden Moor and High Spy by Boat from Keswick!
Departure from Above Derwent (Cumberland)
In my opinion there is no better way to get to the start of the ascent of Cat Bells other than by boat. Catching the first ferry of the day will allow you to get to Hawes End without all the hassle of trying to find somewhere to park. The return ferry from Lodore Landing Stage is just as pleasant with fantastic views.
Parking: There are several places to park in Keswick but I like to park at the Lakeside Car Park near the Theatre by the Lake and the Landing Stages.
Shores of Derwentwater from Keswick
Departure from Keswick (Cumberland)
A linear Lake District walk that follows the shore of Derwentwater south from Keswick to Lodore landing stage. The return to Keswick uses the seasonal launces on Derwentwater.
YHA hopping in The Lake District - YHA Keswick to YHA Grasmere
Departure from Keswick (Cumberland)
The YHA is a great institution and I guess most fell walkers have stayed at a hostel at some time in their lives. They were created "to help all, especially young people of limited means, to a greater knowledge, love and care of the countryside, particularly by providing hostels or other simple accommodation for them on their travels". Here's a collection of routes starting or finishing at a YHA in The Lakes. Along the way are 9 Wainwrights, 2 tarns, and 1 pub.

Blencathra via Sharp Edge from Scales
Departure from Threlkeld (Westmorland and Furness)
Sharp Edge is the highlight of this Lake District walk to Blencathra's highest point at Hallsfell Top. Sharp Edge is challenging mountain environment and needs treating with respect. The views from the Top are stunning covering most of the Lake District's highest fells.
