About Newlands The Newlands Adventure Centre is nestled in the Newlands Valley, surrounded by Swinside, Cat Bells and Causey Pike. The town of Keswick and Derwent Water are just ten minutes’ drive away. The accommodation building was converted from an old graphite mill in 1905, turning it into ‘a place of sweetness and light’ for holiday makers from the industrial north as well church and youth groups. And of course guilds of outdoor writers and photographers! For more information visit www.activity-centre.com summer 2017 | Outdoor focus 9 7
