Keswick is a beautiful location in which to study, whether you wish to concentrate solely on your Studies or take the opportunity to combine a holiday with a Study Course.  

It is possible to combine a Course at LEL with a holiday of quiet enjoyment of the surrounding area of exceptional natural beauty, perhaps with gentle activities such as launch trips on the lake, boating, guided walks, mini-coach tours, or visits to historic houses.  

If you want something more energetic, activities in and around Keswick include fell-walking, cycling, golf, horse-riding, climbing, sailing, canoeing, and wind surfing.

Attractions

The attractions of Keswick  -  splendidly situated between the foothills of Skiddaw (931m) and the shores of lake Derwentwater  -  include the Theatre by the Lake  (www.theatrebythelake.com)  a brand new theatre for Keswick presenting drama, music, dance, special events and exhibitions all year round. 

There is also a cinema, museums (of manuscripts and local curiosities, “cars of the stars”, and pencil making), parks, a leisure pool, a climbing centre, and a plentiful supply of restaurants, pubs and tearooms, where you can sample traditional Cumbrian food. 

Close by Keswick is the spectacularly-sited 4,000-year-old Castlerigg Stone Circle.
