Dog-friendly Keswick
You can walk your dog along the shore of Derwent Water all year, from the Lakeside car park out to Friar's Crag, or take them across the lake on the Keswick Launch to the quiet woods at Brandelhow. Back in town, the Dog and Gun, the Twa Dogs and Cafe Hope in Hope Park all let them in.
