The lake occupies part of Borrowdale and lies immediately south of the town of Keswick. It is both fed and drained by the River Derwent. It measures approximately 3 miles (4.8km) long by 1 mile (1.6km) wide and is some 72 feet (22m) deep. There are several islands within the lake, one of which is inhabited. Derwent Island House, an 18th-century residence, is a tenanted National Trust property open to the public on five days each year.
Derwentwater is a place of considerable scenic value. It is surrounded by hills (known locally as fells), and many of the slopes facing Derwentwater are extensively wooded. A regular passenger launch operates on the lake, taking passengers between various landing stages. There are seven lakeside marinas, the most popular stops being: Keswick, Portinscale and the Lodore Falls, from which boats may be hired. Recreational walking is a major tourist activity in the area and an extensive network of footpaths exists within the hills and woods surrounding the lake.

The Best Derwentwater Viewpoints
After all the recent poor weather I decided to take a trip to Derwentwater to take in some of the best views around the lake. I visited Ashness Bridge and Surprise View on the eastern side of the lake, then took a walk up the western side of the lake to look at the views from the side of Cat Bells.
Did I miss your favourite spot? Is there somewhere else I should have visited. Let me know in the comments & subscribe for more Cumbria & Lake District videos.

DERWENTWATER - circular walk with stunning views
A circular hike from Keswick around Derwentwater visiting the official 'Surprise View'. The views are spectacular as we take in the autumn colours on a cold clear day.
This walk is twelve and half miles long with about 1,500 feet of ascent. Rather than just following the shoreline, we use the surrounding mountains to gain elevation but we do not take on the toil of reaching the peaks. Instead we use the paths that are half way up the mountains that follow the direction of Derwentwater however, these paths are of sufficient hight to provide best fantastic views of the lake.
We begin the walk at Fitz Park which is very closest the centre of Keswick, this allows us to stand at the head of the lake looking down the length of the lake in a southernly direction. Then we begin our circula...

A circular hike from Keswick around Derwentwater visiting the official 'Surprise View'. The views are spectacular as we take in the autumn colours on a cold clear day.
This walk is twelve and half miles long with about 1,500 feet of ascent. Rather than just following the shoreline, we use the surrounding mountains to gain elevation but we do not take on the toil of reaching the peaks. Instead we use the paths that are half way up the mountains that follow the direction of Derwentwater however, these paths are of sufficient hight to provide best fantastic views of the lake.
We begin the walk at Fitz Park which is very closest the centre of Keswick, this allows us to stand at the head of the lake looking down the length of the lake in a southernly direction. Then we begin our circular walk heading in a easterly direction, firstly passing all the boats and cruisers which are secured early in the morning to the lakeshore and landing stages. However, we are able to witness one of the highest water marks as the lake is significantly fuller than normal which will later impact on our views of the many waterfalls.
Next we visit Friars Crag and discover the story of how it acquired it's name from the usage by monks as a landing stage for St Hurberts Island which is in the middle of the lake. Also, from this point we learn about a previous owner of Derwent Island.
We then continue our journey away from the shoreline towards Walla Crag. From the base of Walla Crag we then align ourselves with the direction of the lake and follow the path towards Ashness Bridge. On this path we gradually gain hight and begin to acquire view points that allow us access to the spectacular views. Eventually, we arrive at the famous Ashness Bridge, which is used to cross a small waterfall before we move in the direction of the official 'Surprise View'.
At Surprise View we take in the sights by viewing the distant Bassenthwaite Lake in addition to admiring the western mountains of Maiden Moor and Cat Bells. From Surprise View we continue to follow the tracks until we meet Watendlath Beck. It is here we sit down and let the gentle running of the beck refresh our mindful state. Then we follow the path down that also passes a waterfall before descending alongside the Borrowdale Hotel. From here it is a ten minute walk to Grange. In Grange we admire the cafe overlooking the river before visiting the cafe actually in the centre of the village. At the cafe we indulge in coffee and cake.
From Grange we continue on the very minor road to reach the path that ascends Cat Bells but we only attain half the hight to acquire the fulsome views. Walking at this mid hight is sufficient for our needs as we witness all the spectacular views that you could ever need.
Eventually, we arrive towards the north end of the lake at Nichols Landing marina. From here we pass through Portinscale and use the suspension bridge to go over Derwent Island. We then return the last half mile to Keswick.
