'''Rampsholme Island''', also known as '''Rampsholm''' and '''Ramps Holme''', is the smallest of the four main islands of [[Derwentwater]], the other three comprising of [[Derwent Island]], [[Lord's Island]] and [[St Herbert's Island]]. Rampsholme and Lord's Island formed part of [[Castlerigg]] Manor and the Earls of Derwentwater's estates. Unlike Lord's Island, Rampsholme does not have any structural remains as it was not used as a place of residence. The other three islands have all had some form of habitable structures on them; the only one today is the 18th century house on Derwent Island, and rented out to private residents so boat landing is not allowed here. The {{w1|National Trust}} owns all four of the islands. Boat users are welcome to land on Rampsholme Island, however, overnight camping is not allowed. ([[Rampsholme Island|read more]])
