'''Crow Park''' is
The Derwentwater Walk, a ten mile circular route around the lake, can be started from Crow Park, and walked in either clockwise or anti-clockwise directions. It passes through multiple sites of interest along the route including [[Friar's Crag]], [[The Ings]], the [[Hundred Year Stone]], [[Lodore Falls]], [[Manesty Park]], [[Brandlehow Park]], Fawe Park and various bays that provide excellent viewing points across the lake.
Access to the park is via the B5289 (Borrowdale Road) and
Crow Park is opposite Lakeside Car Park and is impossible to miss. Head towards the Theatre by the Lake building and find the small metal gate leading to the park. There is a gravel path immediately after the gate. The park offers dramatic views in every direction.
