Scenic Derwentwater lake is surrounded by dramatic fells including Catbells and Skiddaw - England’s fourth highest mountain.

Sit back and relax on a 50-minute boat trip, or hop off at jetties along the way. There are various walking routes signposted around the shores of the lake. 

The National Trust owns four islands on the lake. Three have public access, so you can hire a boat and set off to explore them.
