A pleasing weekend in Keswick. Long evenings with flamboyant sunsets. Walks and boat trips on the lake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enroute we took a short detour to Pooley Bridge at the north end of Ullswater, a large and beautiful lake. The boat leaves the jetty, fairly full. There is a decent cafe with good outside seating at Pooley Bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A walk on the disused railway line from Keswick to Threlkeld Coffee Shop. About 3 miles of easy walking with an incline to the road at the end. The coffee shop is modern in style, has a small car park, is popular and in the Village Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Returning via Castlerigg Stone Circle makes a change although you could walk on the track or get a bus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a couple of modern bridges carrying the Keswick by-pass. One goes over the ex-rail track near Keswick, quite a nice bridge. The one in the photo is the road as it converges with the track near Threlkeld.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
