The route to Friar's Crag from Keswick is very easy going and mostly level all the way, taking in both paved roads and gravel paths that run parallel with the lake.

Continuing on this path for a quarter of a mile will bring you out at Friar's Crag and the wide open views of Derwentwater and the surrounding [[fell]]s. There is a bench set back from an opening in the trees.
