In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Keskadale like this:
KESKADALE, a hill-vale in Cumberland; 5½ miles SW of Keswick. It deflects south-westward from Newlands vale; and is flanked on one side by Causey-Pike, -on the other by Great Robinson. Keskadale Haws is a steep ascent at its head.
Keskadale is now part of CUMBERLAND Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how CUMBERLAND has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Keskadale itself, go to Statistics.
