There are lots of well trodden routes around the Keswick area, too numerous to list in fact. It's also very difficult to suggest walks because there are that many, ranging from low level half hour strolls to a mega full day out on the high fells.
Popular fells surrounding the Keswick area are Catbells (best to get the launch across to Hawes End because parking is severely restricted around the base of Catbells); Skiddaw, Blencathra, Causey Pike, Barrow, Grisdale Pike, Great Dodd and the rest of them along the ridge. The list is endless.
For ideas of routes, mileages, how long they will take, and photos, have a look at the following sites:
Andrew Leaney Lakeland Walks
David Hall Lakeland Walks
John Dawson Lake District Walks
Another idea would be to join in on one of the free Ranger led walks that the Lake District Voluntary Rangers put on. There's lots to choose from and because the Voluntary Rangers know so much about their areas, you'll also learn lots. You can search for a guided walk using the following link, or pick up one of the Lake District Nat Park Event Guides in the Moot Hall at Keswick.
Lake District Guided Walks
If you do choose to go on one of the guided walks, make sure you turn up early, wearing the correct clothing and footwear, and add your name to the list which the Voluntary Ranger will have with them, as they are very popular and operate on a first come first served basis.
