Keswick in the rain

[aberdeeneuan]

We're up at a family party in Penrith this weekend (we're not staying there...) but are staying in a village nearby. It's about 30 minutes to Keswick from there from what I can see.

We have Sunday free all day, but looking at the weather it's looking a bit miserable - we'll have my 3 year old and my 10 month old boys with us, what is there to do in the area when it's wet? We had planned on getting a boat trip up Ullswater, is it worth it if it's chucking it down? Also, any family friendly recommend places to eat for lunch would be much appreciated!

The Pencil museum . . . !

The Pencil Museum????? That has to be one of the most uninteresting visits I have ever made.

Try the "Cars of the Stars".
Avoid the James Bond museum - was a rip off last time I went. V Expensive for what it was

The 'cars of the stars' museum was the only interesting thing about Keswick when I went there a few years back, I *think* I read it closed a year or 2 ago though?
