Keswick Museum and Art Gallery

Keswick Museum and Art Gallery tells the story of Keswick and the surrounding area. Keswick has a unique history, with lots of 'firsts', including the first pencils, some very famous residents, and lots of beautiful scenery so awe inspiring that early tourists were left terrified.

The Museum is set in the beautiful Fitz Park, with tennis, putting, bowls and large childrens' playground nearby, riverside walks and picnic area.

It is the only purpose built museum in the Lake District, and it still retains its Victorian feel. There is a lot to see in the Museum and children love it.
