Exploring the Timeless Charms of Derwentwater

Step aboard a Keswick Launch and embark on a memorable cruise across the tranquil waters of Derwentwater in the enchanting Northern Lake District. As you do, you'll not only encounter breathtaking vistas of the surrounding fells but also become part of the lake's rich tapestry of history.

The classic wooden launch boats that have graced Derwentwater's shores for generations add a touch of timeless allure to this experience. Boarding one of these historic vessels connects you with the region's deep-rooted history—a narrative that has served as a wellspring of inspiration for writers, artists, and explorers over the years.

Whether you choose the 50-minute round boat trip or decide to disembark at one of the eight jetties along the route, you're in for an exploration of an area that's not just beautiful but laden with historical significance. Ashness Bridge, Lodore Falls, Grange in Borrowdale, Brandelhow, and Lingholm are more than just landmarks; they're living chapters in the region's history and heritage.

Derwentwater is where nature, history, and culture coalesce. The imposing presence of Skiddaw Mountain and the fells that frame the lake serves as a testament to the geological forces that have sculpted this breathtaking landscape over countless millennia.

Beyond the enchanting boats and the cruise, the area that surrounds Derwentwater is a treasure trove of natural beauty. It features sheltered coves, charming islands, and an abundance of wildlife. Take leisurely strolls along the lakeshore to soak in awe-inspiring vistas and lose yourself in peaceful woodlands.

Looking back towards Grizdale Pike from one of the best sunrise locations in the Lake District.

Due to its quick and easy access, Latrigg Fell is the ideal spot for sunrise or if vour want mountain vistas when you are short on time or energy.

On a good day, you will have amazing views over Derwentwater and the Borrowdale valley and a full panorama of some of the highest mountains in England including Scafell Pike, Helvellyn, and the Newlands Horseshoe.
There also a appropriately placed bench at the viewpoint so you can sit and enjoy the magnificent view.

From thee car park located at the head of Gale Road
(CA12 4PH) there are two 1km trails to reach the viewpoint.

The wheelchair friendly path skirts around the peak to the right, and the more direct route leads over the top of the Latrigg Fell. Either way the walk should take around 15-20 minutes.
