Keswick is a market town located in the Allerdale Borough in Cumbria, England. Evidence of prehistoric settlement has been found near the town such as Neolithic stone tools and the Castlerigg stone circle (similar to Stonehenge). The market received its charter in the thirteenth century from King Edward I. Keswick is often associated with the Lake Poets movement as members of the movement such as William Wordsworth lived in the town.
