the best guided walks in the Lake District
we are here to help latest information what Keswick Rambles does
Lakes guided mountain walks

Our choice of walks can be idiosyncratic, for instance Ian McQueen had a penchant for walks with funny names like Bog House but sadly he retired at the end of the 2008 season so his flamboyance is missed. Do these walks reflect each leader's character perhaps?

Please remember some walks need booking so use the contact us button above to do this.

Meet outside the Moot Hall at 10am (most walks) or 9am if shown.

Thank you for your advise about the walks in Keswick in January
We were really lucky whilst we were there and we were able to do several low level walks The highest we got was Walla Crag and it started to snow a little bit whilst we were on the top! We appreciated how hard it must have been for folk during the floods as several homes over at the Crossthwaite end of town,where we were staying, had skips outside and some did not look as if any-one was living in them yet after the floods
We have booked to come again in September and trust that we will have some good walking days then!
Thank you once more for your advise

Wear suitable clothing and footwear and bring a rucksack with wet weather gear, a packed lunch and drinks. A first-aid kit is a good idea too. If you need to know more about gear, read our section on Equipment for tips and stockists we like.

CLASSIC = Steep, rocky or rugged mountain tops often with longer approaches, make this a hard and long day; fitness essential
A = A serious fell walk, high, rocky, long and steep; fitness necessary
B = A good walk usually covering a few felltops with several ascents and descents; strenuous
C =A fairly easy walk; with maybe only one top to climb, suitable for active walkers
