Its features consist of the Moot Hall; a modern-day theatre, the Theatre by the Lake; among Britain's earliest enduring cinemas, the Alhambra; and the Keswick Museum and also Art Gallery in the town's biggest open space, Fitz Park.

Along with their fellow Lake Poet William Wordsworth, based at Grasmere, 12 miles (19 km) away, they made the beautiful beauty of the area widely known to visitors in Britain and beyond. In the late 19th century and also into the 20th, Keswick was the emphasis of a number of important campaigns by the growing conservation movement, often led by Hardwicke Rawnsley, vicar of the close-by Crosthwaite church as well as founder of the National Trust, which has actually built up comprehensive holdings in the location.
