Keswick town centre
Earlier this week I spent a couple of hours one afternoon in Keswick in the North Lakes and, as always, the atmosphere there was great. I’ve previously written about why you should go shopping in Keswick here.
I found myself drawn to photographing some of the lovely shop windows and Christmas light displays in the town, so for this fun post, I’ll let the photos do the talking as we take a tour of Keswick town to see which were among my favourites…
First up, when I walked past the entrance to the Inn on the Square, I had to take a step back and have another look. It seems that rule number one with Christmas decorations is that you can never have too many Christmas trees – they look lovely and certainly caught my attention!Ye Olde Friars, the chocolate shop in the market squarePackhorse Court, just off the central market squareThe Cheese Deli, Packhorse CourtGorgeous roof details and decorations in Packhorse CourtAnd if we take a few steps back…The entrance to Packhorse Court on Station RoadPackhorse CourtA gift shop on Station StreetThe Orchid House on Lake RoadGeorge Fisher on Lake RoadFine Designs on Lake RoadMaysons and the Frank Josef Photography Gallery on Lake RoadFrank Josef Photography, Lake RoadTreeby and Bolton on Lake RoadRoly’s Fudge on Lake RoadI love the architectural features on the front of this building in the market squareSomeone’s got the Christmas spirit!

If you’ve enjoyed this tour of some of the things there are to see in Keswick, I hope I will have tempted you to visit this vibrant North Lakes town over the festive break!

Keswick and Derwentwater are always worth a visit, especially this time of the year!
Yes, it was lovely – quiet enough to enjoy a good look round, but still a really warm atmosphere!
