What are some outdoor activities near Keswick?

Walkers, climbers, and paragliders can get their kicks in the fells that surround the town—Blencathra, Skiddaw, Grisedale Pike—while water babies can spend a day on nearby Derwentwater or head just a little further to the Cumbrian coast. If you prefer two wheels to two feet, there are excellent purpose-built mountain biking trails at nearby Whinlatter Forest. The Allerdale Ramble passes through many camping spots, guiding ramblers and riders from Keswick all the way to the West Cumbrian coast.
