This beautiful community is 5 miles from Penrith and has 17th-century dwellings. On the fringes of the Lake District National Park, 3 miles from Ullswater, this is a great place for outdoor enthusiasts. Keswick is the north Lake District’s holiday centre and boasts several shops, restaurants, a theatre, museum, indoor climbing wall, and miniature golf. The village’s 10th-century church, Penrith’s castle, and Lowther Castle’s ruins add to the area’s history. Greystoke is close to the southern Lakes, Eden Valley, Pennines, Solway Coast, and Hadrian’s Wall, so there’s much to see and do.
