Keswick: Fitz Park

Keswick has a number of green parks including Lower Fitz Park with tennis courts and football pitch. On a sunny afternoon the local team play cricket on the spectacularly located ground beside the River Greta. This activity area has recently been re-constructed, and gives parents a well-deserved rest while their children play. The Keswick Museum and Art Gallery, located on Station Road just off the park, is well worth a visit. Exhibits include a scale model of the Lake District, the Musical Stones (a xylophone made out of Skiddaw slate) and collections of work by Southey and Sir Hugh Walpole.
