    Jutting into Derwentwater, Friar's Crag has clear views over Derwent Isle and across Derwentwater. On clear days, you can see across the lake to the National Trust owned property Brandlehow Woods. Friars Crag was once described by prominent Victorian art critic John Ruskin as one of the most beautiful places in Europe. There is a monument to the famous thinker at the Crag.
