Places to Visit in The Lake District - Derwent Water Cumbria
| A wider lake in northern central lakes with the large town of Keswick near it's northern end. Easy access from A66. Best photo spots are probably along the eastern side along the B5289 - although there's no easy parking on this road. There's a steam boat that goes around the lake, stopping at several spots. This allows easy access to the south end of the lake, this provides wide ground level views of the whole lake. |
One of the best views of Derwent water is from Ashness Bridge, a left turn off the B5289 (if going south). This is basically a car park on the top of one of the hills overlooking the lake (see pic above right). Ashness Bridge gives spectacular wide views of the whole of the lake straight from the car park. As an added bonus there's also a stone bridge (Ashness Bridge) with a mountain stream following beneath. On the Google Map, Ashness Bridge is the little white road off the yellow Borrowdale Road. |

The Lake District is great for clear water streams with fast flowing water over rocks and pebbles. Don't just look at the big views (as impressive as they are), little babbling brooks can be just as interesting. There's also lots of waterfalls in Cumbria. Moss Force nr Buttermere is an interesting one, with nice open views and less visitors than some of the more famous falls and forces.
As with all falls, it's at it's best in Spring and Winter or after a heavy period of Summer rain. (not unknown in the Lake District).
