Threeways is ideally situated for walkers visiting Keswick and the Northern Lake District. There are a variety of walks suitable for all abilities from short flat walks to full day hiking over the Cumbrian fells. Below are a few suggested walks straight from the door of Threeways:

The old railway line to Threlkeld village - Walk to Fitz Park (0.3 miles) and across to the Keswick Leisure Centre. Go behind the centre and past the Keswick Hotel. This path is the old railway line which linked Cockermouth to Penrith which closed in 1972. The path now provides a peaceful and relatively easy walk between Keswick and Threlkeld village (approx 4 miles) following the river Greta. The path is also a bridleway so ideal for a gentle bike ride.

Latrigg (1207ft) - Walk though Fitz Park and on to Brundholme Road, then to Spooney Green Lane. Cross the A66 and follow the winding path up to the top of Latrigg. The views of Keswick and Borrowdale are spectacular and well worth the effort. To extend this walk either walk down to meet up with the old railway line or continue up Skiddaw (3054ft). The main path up Latrigg is also a bridleway so again ideal for mountain biking.

Cat Bells (1480ft) - Walk to the boat landings on Derwentwater and take one of the launches to Brandelhow. Walk through the forest and up Cat Bells to be greeted by magnificent views of Newlands Valley, Borrowdale Valley, Keswick and Derwentwater. From here you can either take a launch back to the boat landings or follow the lake shore via Portinscale to Keswick. This walk can easily be extended to incorporate High Spy and Maiden Moor but be prepared for a full day's hike!

There are many other walks from Keswick and public transport is excellent. You can take the Borrowdale bus from Booths supermarket (100 yards) or take a launch to one of numerous jetties around Derwentwater.
