2 people Canoe taster sessions

Brought to you by the National Trust and Mobile Adventure, an opportunity to get out on the lake and maybe try something new.

  • Booking essential

Canoeing – the very best way to experience Derwentwater, The ‘Queen of the Lakes’. No experience needed, a qualified instructor will take you out on the water and teach you all the basics and then you can enjoy freedom to explore more of Derwentwater towards the end of the session. We’ll provide all the equipment you need – even a wetsuit – and all from Crow Park, walking distance from Keswick market square.

For just two people together in one Canadian open-boat canoe, you can join in the session with the paddleboarders to learn some skills and explore a bit on Derwentwater.

Force Crag Mine Open Day for GeoWeek 

A rusty ‘tin shed’ beside a dramatic waterfall in a remote valley just outside Keswick – this building is a tribute to human engineering and ingenuity, and it has a powerful story to tell about humanity’s impact on the planet.
