The Kennel Club has presented Keswick with the prestigious recognition that it is the most friendly city in Britain!
Thousands of overcrowded dog lovers have found out about Keswick's many pubs, bars, shops and accommodation providers.
Many pubs not only welcome dogs, but go beyond justifying friendly dog IDs. Most pubs offer travelers, dog bags and fresh water bowls. Dog & Gun is a former winner in Dog Friendly Awards and is a leader in our four-legged friends.
We already know how great Keswick is for dogs – an endless wonderful fallen walk, a forest is the perfect platform for tossing and the lake is splashing in. What a better place for a vacation!
There are a number of lakeside houses which also accept dogs, 1,2, 3 or 4 dogs! Given that one British household has one dog, this is a big slice of the market. Keswick is proud to be able to provide dog owners with the information they need to design their vacation, whether locals or tourist information. There are self-catering cottages where you can see if you have a house garden and if you are closed or not where the nearest pub is and if you are a dog.
Locals are always happy to share tips for a big walk or a cafe that keeps towels for dirty dogs. It's great news that Keswick's friendly dog friendly attitude – not just pubs, but also cafes, shops and post offices.
There are many pet-friendly houses on the lakefront from distant valley trips to centrally located town houses. These are the distance to the cozy houses sleeping two people in the big barn conversions sleeping up to 26!
If you've never been to Keswick and you have a dog, why not pay the city? Not only is it a fantastic opportunity to get rid of yourself, but from time to time you should not deserve the vacation.
Derwentwater is a popular spot for walks. Keswick Launch is a wonderful way to visit the lake, stopping at different points of the lake where you can hopefully get in and out, your dog is also welcomed! It's a good idea to go back to the time and pick up the Victorian rowing boats to see how sloppy the lake looks like.
There are also some great places to bathe in the clean water of the lake and have a completely different perspective on the lake area. Your dog will love you too.
