Derwentwater is a stunning stretch of water surrounded by majestic upland scenery. When the lake reflects the trees and mountains in its crystal-clear water, it is a spellbinding experience. The lake is 3 miles (5 km) long and 72 feet (22 m) deep. It is close to the town of Keswick and is often called ‘Keswick Lake’.

If your not after doing a climb when your in the Keswick area then I can highly recommend a hike around Derwent Water. Theres a path pretty much all the way round which is nicely surfaced and it provides some great views of both the water and surrounding mountains. If you don't want to park in town then there's a great little spot just off High Hill road, between the A66 and the both west of the town, this is also right on the route so is a great place to start and finish.. A pretty easy flat 10 mile or so.
