Nice site been there a few times, best part is it's only 250 mtr's from shops and 4 pubs, nice time of year to see the lakes,

Go and enjoy

We are off to Keswick- The local tourist info will have loads of walks I also use a site called www.walkingworld.co.uk  or com can't remember which. If you go to find walks and type in Hawkshead it will give you different length walks. You have to subscribe to the site I think it is about £17 per year but we have used it loads of times and it has been well worth it and you save that money in maps alone as you can print them from the site after you subscribe.

I can recommend the food at the Queens Head pub in Hawkshead (scrummy sunday lunch). There a great walk in nearby Sawrey called Claife Heights, park in the Sawrey Arms car park (they don't mind as long as you pop in for a beer!) and follow the footpath sign near the phone box - great views of windermere. Also try High Dam near stott park bobbin mill and the east side of windermere, not many folks know this walk and it's lovely.

Have a great time in this lovely part of the lakes.

Thanks for all the replies, sitting here in my office in Liverpool, 11.30am the suns just come out. Going home in 2 hours can't wait to get there.

Hope the weather holds out, but not holding me breath. Whatever it won't spoil the weekend.
