George Fisher

George Fisher is a legendary outdoor clothing and equipment shop in the heart of Keswick and dogs are welcome inside. Spread across a handsome multi-storey building on Borrowdale Road, it stocks everything from waterproofs and walking boots to technical climbing kit and camping gear, making it a favourite stop for Lake District adventurers who'd rather not leave their dog tied up outside.

The shop also houses a café where dogs are welcome, so you can refuel mid-browse with your wet-nosed companion at your feet. It's the sort of place where muddy paws and rucksacks are entirely at home and staff are used to walkers arriving straight off the fells.

George Fisher sits right in the town centre, a short walk from the Moot Hall and Keswick's main shopping streets. Whether you're gearing up for a big hike or replacing a chewed dog lead, this is a genuinely useful stop where both of you can come in from the rain.
