    Castlehead is Keswick's equivalent to Windermere's Orrest Head: a lovely viewpoint that can be reached with minimum effort from the town centre. There's a little scramble to reach the top, which will make little explorers feel very adventurous indeed. On the very top is a dial that lets you identify the surrounding fells.
