===The location===
To some, Friar's Crag is a special place. First time visitors and veterans of this small rocky outcrop will have one thing in common, they will share the stunning views through the coniferous trees that are
Take a moment to absorb the view and appreciate just how beautiful this place is. Derwentwater really is the jewel in the crown of Lakeland. There is so much to see and do here a week is simply not enough time to explore everything, but you could certainly give it a good try. The walking here is superb with something for everyone. To the north there is [[Skiddaw]], to the south there's [[Castlerigg Fell]] and [[Grange Fell]]. One of the best views of Derwentwater and the surrounding fells come from [[Walla Crag]], the tree enshrouded rock face on the eastern side. The lake also provides the perfect backdrop for swimming, canoeing and paddleboarding. [[Rampsholme Island]] and [[St Herbert's Island]] can be explored on foot and [[Lord's Island]], with its interesting history and manor house ruins, can be approached but not landed on for the reasons of protecting any nesting birds.
