More info about travel to the Lake District: https://www.ricksteves.com/europe/england/lake-district Located on a beautiful lake known as Derwentwater, Keswick is the ideal home base in North Lake District. The town's fine old buildings recall those Romantic era days when big-city folks flocked here to "commune with nature." Today, compact Keswick is well-stocked with plenty of welcoming B&Bs, hiking-gear shops, and plenty of kid- and dog-friendly pubs. A scenic boat cruise takes you to a rugged trail leading up to a scenic peak called Catbells for a stunning Lake District panorama. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #england Visit http://www.ricksteves.com for more information about this destination and other destinations in Europe.
