Crow Park HRH Prince Charles at the unveiling of the UNESCO WHS inscription plaque in Crow Park. 01 Our cultural landscape and heritage formed a key part in the World Heritage Site bid. The spectacular landscape we enjoy today has been shaped by people for thousands of years through farming and industry. Fell farming continues to play a vital role in the Lakes and you will see the evidence of this as you spend time in the valleys surrounding Keswick. Mining is not so prevalent these days but you can learn much about the history by visiting the Derwent Pencil Museum, Keswick Museum, Force Crag Mine and the Threlkeld Quarry Mining Museum. Whilst copper and graphite mining are a thing of the past, slate mining does still take place at Honister. The natural beauty of the area has inspired many poets, writers and artists and it continues to inspire visitors to the area today. A growing love for the area led to the commencement of the early conservation movement. Indeed, Canon Rawnsley of Keswick was a founder of the National Trust. There are many well known landmarks around Keswick, such as the Bowder Stone in Borrowdale Valley, Ashness Bridge and Castlerigg Stone Circle that are now owned or protected by the National Trust. 02 03 – Did you know? – The National Trust made its first purchase of land at Brandelhow on the Western shores of Derwenwater. visitkeswick.com 7
