About

Keswick ward covers the town of Keswick and its immediate surrounding fells within the Lake District National Park. The area is defined by its position between the shores of Derwentwater and the slopes of Skiddaw, one of England's highest mountains. The landscape is a mix of wooded shoreline, open valley floors, and steep, rocky uplands. The town itself serves as a central hub for outdoor activities and tourism in the northern Lakes.

The ward's economy is closely linked to the natural environment, with many businesses catering to walkers and visitors. A network of historic footpaths and bridleways radiates from the town, including the trail to the famous Castlerigg Stone Circle set within a dramatic mountain panorama. The area's geology, with its distinctive green slate, has historically influenced local building materials and industry.
