Moot Hall, Keswick

Highlight • Settlement

The current Moot Hall in the Lake District town of Keswick was built in 1813 and has been used as a market space, court house, museum and information centre. The building stands prominently in the middle of Market Square. From an adventure perspective, Moot Hall is the start and/or finish point of multiple Lake District challenges, including the single round of the Wainwrights, the Bob Graham Round and the Cumbrian Traverse.
