Keswick In the English Lakes

A picture postcard for all to see sits down in the valley to view a small market town among the lakes real beauty spot always form a queue Hill walkers come from near and far make it their base before they trek it's at base of lovely Derwent Water where you can sail around it's neck So many beautiful fells surround it Blencathra, Catbells, Helvelyn and Skiddaw these only a few of it's beauty spots many an artist paint what they saw Many years ago living nearby poetic gems penned by Wordsworth drew poetic word pictures so fine encaptured many hearts across the earth Such a place of quietness and peace enjoy a coffee and cake reading a book so many eating places to choose or make a picnic by lakeside brook There's also a theatre by the lake go and see a musical or a play lovely gardens with flowers nearby sit among it's beauty to spend your day Here indeed is God's picture book showing His creation on display what a picture what a photograph full of colour no sight of any grey

Beautiful descriptive write. It's such a wonderful area to visit as it's so picturesque - I used to love going to the lake District when we lived in Birmingham :-) hugs Jan xx
