A new partnership between Keswick's Theatre By The Lake and the National Trust, with financial support from Keswick Lions, has allowed the theatre to offer a new all-terrain mobility scooter - a "Tramper" - for hire. 

Three accessible walks have been mapped out, led by a National Trust ranger, starting and finishing at the theatre. The scooter allows those with limited mobility to join the walks and explore the scenery.

An Outdoor Mobility spokesperson said: “The Tramper is proving extremely popular, which is fantastic! There have been 19 bookings in the past 30 days – it's our most popular site. The scooter is bringing a lot of joy to lots of people, so thanks to Theatre by the Lake and the Keswick Lions for their support.

Guided walks will take place on May 28, June 29 and August 8.


Book a place at the National Trust Borrowdale and Derwent Water page here, and get more information about, or book, a Tramper here. Note that use of the Tramper is subject to membership of Outdoor Mobility (single use membership is £3), and to availability.
