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’.
