The Derwentwater walk

This pretty trail takes in the quiet majesty of Derwentwater, the ‘Queen of the Lakes’. Ten miles of well-marked paths loop around its still shoreline, leading you past age-old forests and rugged fells. For picture-postcard views, head to Friar’s Crag and look out across the lake towards the spiny ridge of Cat Bells.

    Lovely lake, great boat ride, disappointed that the skipper of the craft did not give a running commentary of the places, crags, outcrops and vista we passed and the ride. Something that could be looked at??

    Breakfast always delicious. Paul was very friendly and helpful in recommending us good restaurants and walking routes. Despite the predictably awful weather in the lakes in November we had a fab time exploring Derwentwater. The B&B is close to Keswick town centre, easy to find and has lovely views of the River Greta and Skiddaw.

    Everything was superb. Jo is a great host and I couldn`t fault anything. Breakfast was really delicious. Jo was very welcoming and gave great customer service as we went on the Derwentwater boat trips and Jo kindly rang ahead to see if they were running. Room was really nice. Location only 10 min walk from the town centre and easily found an on street parking space just outside the guesthouse. Definitely recommend this guesthouse to others and will definitely stay again when next visiting Keswick.
