Located within the Lake District National Park, Keswick owes much of its superb reputation to Samuel Taylor Coleridge and his fellow Lake Poets, authors of the Lyrical Ballads collection. Long before welcoming the Tour de France’s riders, the town captivated artists and tourists alike, who were attracted both by its market, which dates back to the 13th century, and the surrounding natural wonders.
