Derwent Water, Lake District.
Derwent Water, is one of the principal bodies of water in the Lake District National Park, Cumbria., north west England. The lake occupies part of Borrowdale and lies immediately south of the town of Keswick. It is both fed and drained by the River Derwent. The Lake approximately 3 miles long by 1 mile wide & is some 72 feet deep. There are several islands within the lake, one of which is inhabited. The lake is just a short walk from Keswick town along well maintained footpaths. The most popular way to enjoy the beauty of the lake, other than by walking the paths around its shores, is to board one of the Keswick Launches which operate round the lake. The main boat landings are just a 10 minutes walk from the centre of Keswick town.
