Described as England's most scenic rugby ground, the home of Keswick Rugby Football Club is Davidson Park, set in a magnificent location with views of the Lake District fells, especially of Skiddaw.
Keswick RUFC was formed in 1879, has a 1st XV playing in the Cumbrian League, a 2nd XV who play in the Cumbrian Shield and an occasional 3rd XV who play for fun. There are youth teams from Under 8s upwards and the club supports and encourages the youth of Keswick to help promote the game of rubgy.
The Club also promotes community events, holding a very popular half marathon in May and a Beer Festival in June. Many other town events use their fields and facilities throughout the year.
Keswick Rugby Football Club has a new website at Pitchero

Thirlmere is a reservoir, created in 1894 to provide Manchester with water, but now also supplying Keswick and environs. Located beneath Helvellyn, two small lakes and a hamlet were drowned by the building of a large dam at the northern end of the valley. Forestry clearance in the area has transformed the landscape in recent years.

Once a single lake, Buttermere and Crummock Water are now separated by a green, fertile plain on which you will find two inns, a teashop and car parking. Surrounded by fells such as Haystacks and Red Pike the walk of about 3 miles around the lake is always popular.
