The Ings is a wooded wetland area in Strandshag Bay at Derwentwater, near Keswick. It lies adjacent to Stable Hills farmhouse and opposite Lord's Island, once home to the Earls of Derwentwater and Radcliffe families in the 15th and 16th centuries. The Derwentwater Walk, a ten mile circular route around the lake, goes through The Ings on a raised boardwalk due the nature of the land. The route is waymarked and passes through ancient woodlands, owned by the National Trust. (read more)
