There's no finer way to approach Catbells than across the serene Derwent Water and stepping onto land at Hawes End. Whether you arrive via a lake cruise or a rowing boat, it's a delightful and adventurous way to approach the fell.

However, it's not all about Catbells. There are plenty of other glorious places to explore from Hawes End, such as the scenic Newlands Valley and its pretty little church. If you're feeling peckish, the Lingholm Kitchen and Walled Garden is a great shout.
