4 days in Keswick to see a bit of the Lakes District

We successfully handled the left side driving to make it across from York to Keswick. The lakes district was recommended early on in our planning and glad we made it an extended stop. Challenged in the planning with so many destination options in the country but our preference to stay longer in each stop.

Charlie came down with a stomach bug the second day which added some constraints on our activities since he wasn’t feeling well most of the stay. Weather cooperated most days other than Tuesday being a rainout. A beautiful part of the country which we never knew existed.

Afternoon arrival on a beautiful sunny day and quickly located a park
Room to run after a few hours in the car
Monday night dinner of beef goulash at Dog and Gun
Our house was built in the 1600s and located just up the hill from the center of town
No one at the bmx park on a rainy day
Playing some tunes at the Keswick museum
Backyard of our place
Lush gardens
Hunched over walking around the house the entire week
Scaring the other summer tourists
Treats!
Wednesday hike with good weather and views of derwentwater
Hoof bah! So many sheep reminded us of a clip from a favorite movie
Miles and miles of trails with zero trees
Boys split off to hike up to 2800’ towards the peak
T. rex style back down to the park
A road trip on Thursday into Ambleside
Nicest dog we met
No swimming for the Floridians
Family monopoly after a day of sightseeing

Packing up on Saturday and driving to Edinburgh to start our Scotland leg of the trip. A few nights in town then heading further north into the Highlands.
