Latrigg is Keswick’s

fell, rising from the suburbs to the northeast of the town. Hikes to Latrigg

are also among the most straightforward of all the Wainwright Fells and there

are options for wheelchair users too. Backed by the ancient Skiddaw massif, and

with magnificent views of Derwent Water and beyond into the heart of the

national park, Latrigg is undoubtedly wonderful.

Known as ‘Keswick’s own fell’, Latrigg is a must-climb for anyone visiting the town. Despite being one of the lowest fells in the Lakes, the summit affords enchanting views over Keswick, Derwentwater, and down the Borrowdale Valley.

Try going off the beaten track. Through the dark forest.

The "home mountain / hill" of Keswick. Great view over the village and Derwent Water.
