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 abundent here.

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.

The lake also provides the perfect backdrop for swimming, canoeing and paddleboarding. [[Rampsholme Island]] and [[St |

When the sun does shine in the Lakes, which can feel like a rare thing indeed, it really does impress, especially with a windless, cloudless sky that provided the perfect canvass for a series of photos along the Derwentwater 10 mile circular walk. |
