Ever wonder where pencils came from,the Italians,French,Chinese? wrong,it was the English!

Join us in celebrating 175 years of pencil making here in Keswick in the heart of the Lake District. Enter the museum through a replica of the Seathwaite Mine, where graphite was first discovered, journey through the history of pencil making, marvel at the world's longest pencil and finally relax in our coffee shop while the kids follow the quiz trail and express their creativity in the Drawing Zone. Open all year we are an ideal all weather attraction for all the family.

We look forward to seeing you soon!
