Our Dog-Friendly Insider Tips for Keswick

You will have so many pet-friendly adventures to be had in Keswick with your four-legged friend. If you have an adventurous canine, they will love the challenge of climbing Skiddaw (England's fourth highest mountain!)

There are also a variety of breathtaking lakeside locations here. You can both jump aboard on one of the Keswick Launches and enjoy the lovely cruise around Derwentwater. Or you can simply stroll around the sparkling lake with your canine companion, admiring the variety of flora and wildlife. The 10-mile circular walk around Derwentwater will take you through ancient woodlands and tranquil shores as you pass by the best views Keswick has to offer. While in the Derwent area, stop by Derwent Pencil Museum where you will learn about the history of granite mining with your furry friend by your side.

One of the most iconic dog walks in Keswick is of course climbing up Catbells. When you succeed the climb, you will be rewarded with stunning views over the Lakes, Derwent Water and Skiddaw. Catbells is a great introduction to hill walking if your canine companion does not have much experience!

With all the outdoor adventures you'll be having, you will be wanting to know of places where you can put your feet (and paws) up for a rest - and a bite to eat! Luckily, Keswick is extremely dog-welcoming with many dog-friendly pubs, restaurants, and cafes in the area.
