Lake District walk perfect for the whole family with a cosy pub to finish the trek
Seeing it lashing with rain doesn't make you want to get up and go out walking, but here in Cumbria, we're fortunate to have plenty of places to visit that won't see you soaked right through. Since the reopening in December 2020, the Keswick to Threlkeld Railway trail has been accessible to all.
Covered by trees and all the railway tunnels, it means you can hide from the rain and also be shaded from the sun. The trail follows the route of the old Keswick to Penrith Railway, and weaves its way over the River Greta on some of the original Victorian railway bridges and some rebuilt following Storm Desmond.What is even better is when you've walked from Keswick to Threlkeld you can relax in the pub there before setting off back.
It's just in the village and on the perfect route for this trail. The website explains: "Recently refurbished on both the ground floor and in the bedrooms it has retain the quirky charm of this old building whilst bringing the facilities up to the standards expected in the 21st century. "With highly rated food – ample parking – immediate access to wonderful walks and welcoming dogs in the bar areas this is a must for locals and visitors alike. The spectacular scenery can be enjoyed from within the Inn or better still on the alfresco dining area."
Here are all the directions you'll need for this simple accessible walk as provided by the Lake District National Park:
