Keswick Market Square

Keswick is a market town since 1276. Every Saturday the market fills up the square and Main Street and is a lively and eventful occasion. The name Keswick literally means ‘cheese market’ although two centuries ago cereals were the main items on sale. Today local producers and tradesmen come into the town to sell their goods and wares including local food such as honey, Cumberland sausage and cheese.
