Embark on a moderate hike around Derwent Water from Keswick, a journey that covers 10.7 miles (17.3 km) with an elevation gain of 856 feet (261 metres). This loop typically takes around 4 hours and 45 minutes to complete. You will find varied terrain, including well-maintained gravel paths, boardwalks through marshy areas, and sections winding through ancient woodlands. As you walk, you will enjoy expansive views of Derwent Water, its islands, and the surrounding fells, with the dramatic backdrop of Cat Bells often in sight.
Planning your visit is straightforward, as the route is easily accessible from Keswick. The path is largely waymarked, making navigation simple. If you wish to shorten your walk, you can combine sections of the trail with a trip on the Keswick Launch boat service, which has multiple landing stages around the lake. Buses also serve various points, offering additional flexibility for your day out. The trail's newly constructed bridges and raised paths mean it is often viable even in wetter conditions.
This trail is notable for offering some of the Lake District's most iconic views, such as those from Friar's Crag, which famously inspired writer John Ruskin. The route provides a wide range of experiences, from gentle lakeside strolls to options for more challenging fell climbs if you choose to extend your adventure. Along the way, you will encounter interesting features like the Chinese Bridge and several jetties, passing through areas rich in flora and wildlife cared for by the National Trust.

Embark on a moderate hiking adventure through the Lake District with the High Seat, Bleaberry Fell and Walla Crag Loop. This route spans 9.1 miles (14.7 km) and involves a significant climb of 1940 feet (591 metres), typically taking around 4 hours and 42 minutes to complete. You will traverse varied landscapes, moving from serene woodlands to expansive open fells. From Walla Crag, you can enjoy panoramic views stretching across Derwentwater and the charming market town of Keswick. As you ascend, the trail reveals broad vistas of the surrounding fells, including the impressive Skiddaw and Helvellyn ranges.
When planning your hike, be aware that the section between Bleaberry Fell and High Seat can become quite boggy, particularly after rainfall. For a more enjoyable experience, consider tackling this part of the route during a prolonged dry spell or when the ground is frozen. It is always advisable to wear waterproof boots to ensure your comfort and safety throughout the journey. Check local weather forecasts before you set out to prepare adequately for conditions on the fells.
This loop offers a classic Lake District experience, allowing you to summit three distinct Wainwrights. The diverse terrain ensures that your hike remains engaging, from the sheltered paths through woodlands to the exposed, sweeping views from the fell tops. It provides a rewarding challenge for hikers seeking both physical exertion and stunning natural beauty in one of England's most iconic national parks.
