Finding good indoor activities in the Lake District is easier than you might think when you’re based just outside Keswick. The town is a 20–30 minute walk along the Keswick to Threlkeld Railway Trail, putting a cinema, two museums and independent shops within easy reach without a car.nnWet days have plenty to offer here.
