Description
Museums in the Lake District and Cumbria
Ideal family attraction in Keswick whatever the weather, with Lake District events and activities to entertain throughout the whole year.
In the early 1500s, following the discovery graphite, a cottage industry of pencil making developed, leading to the formation of the UK's first pencil factory in 1832.
