Access the Dales is excited to announce that we will be exhibiting at this year’s Keswick Mountain Festival – one of the UK’s most inspiring celebrations of the outdoors. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Lake District, the festival is the perfect place to discover new adventures, connect with like-minded people, and experience the very best of accessible outdoor opportunities.

The festival takes place at Crow Park, Keswick, CA12 5DJ, right on the shores of Derwent Water. Festival Village general access is free for everyone to enjoy before 5pm, giving you the chance to explore the brand expo, browse a wide range of outdoor gear, and enjoy delicious food and drink stalls. After 5pm, non-ticket holders will need to leave the festival village, so be sure to plan your visit. You can purchase festival tickets here https://keswickmountainfestival.co.uk/buy-tickets/

Set off on a beautiful, guided, stile-free circular adventure along the sparkling shores of Derwent Water, before weaving back through the peaceful woodland of Cockshot Wood, with breathtaking views across the lake to Cat Bells and Causey Pike. For an extra highlight, take a short detour to the iconic viewpoint at Friar’s Crag and soak in the scenery. At just over a mile and a half, this family-friendly route is a perfect introduction to the outdoors with Access the Dales.
