Derwentwater is in the perfect location - surrounded by fells and mountains on all sides. The views across the lake are stunning and even on a busy night during the Keswicjk Mountain Festival there is peace and tranquility there.

Superb walk along the Lake to the Lodore Hotel for lunch catching the launch back to Keswick, very enjoyable and the weather was gorgeous.
