Sunset over Derwentwater Keswick
Beautiful day in March deserves a beautiful sunset and what a place to watch the sun go down? Castlehead, a small fell between Keswick town centre and Derwentwater, is an ideal place to watch the world go by, or just to watch the sun go down.Lots to see on the lake, a flock of geese, the Keswick Launch, a rowing boat heading back to Keswick. It was a cold day and ice is still present on the lake but the sunshine was warm. Tonight, the sun disappears behind Causey Pike. I just love those knobbly bits! Don't know what I mean .. then watch the video and all will be revealed. The bird calls where recorded in Castlehead woods and on Castlehead itself.
Thank you for watching.
Larry's Lodge is a dog friendly B&B. We are just a short walk from Keswick town center, Derwentwater and the fells.

DerwentWater
Derwentwater is one of the principal bodies of water in the Lake District National Park in north west England. It lies wholly within the Borough of Allerdale, in the county of Cumbria.
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. It measures approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) long by 1 mile (1.6 km) wide and is some 72 feet (22 m) deep. There are several islands within the lake, one of which is inhabited. Derwent Island House, an 18th-century residence, is a tenanted National Trust property open to the public on five days each year.
Derwentwater is a place of considerable scenic value. It is surrounded by hills (known locally as fells), and many of the slopes facing Derwentwater are extensively wooded. A regular passenger launch operates on the lake, taking passengers between various landing stages. There are seven lakeside marinas, the most popular stops being Keswick, Portinscale and the Lodore Falls, from which boats may be hired. Recreational walking is a major tourist activity in the area and there is an extensive network of footpaths in the hills and woods surrounding the lake.
The Keswick—Borrowdale road runs along the eastern shore of the lake and carries a regular bus service. There is a lesser, or unclassified, road along the western shore connecting the villages of Grange and Portinscale.
Derwentwater gave its name to the Earldom of Derwentwater.

Keswick --- a wintertime slideshow
Keswick is a small market town in the Lake District of Cumbria, and its traffic-free center is home to many pubs and restaurants. The town, nestled between Derwentwater and the high fells of Skiddaw and Blencathra, attracts both tourists and hikers to this area of outstanding natural and unspoiled beauty.
A popular circular drive passes clockwise around Derwentwater, over the Whinlatter Pass to Buttermere Valley, and thence back to Keswick over the Honister Pass.
Off of the Penrith Road, at the eastern outskirts of Keswick, a brown National Trust sign points towards Castlerigg Stone Circle. From this point, a narrow and steep minor road leads to this famous Neolithic monument, perfectly sited on a level plateau framed by the fells of Skiddaw, Blencathra and Hellvelyn. From Castlerigg, a public footpath heads back along farm tracks towards Keswick, eventually descending besides a wooded stream. Just before town, the small, steep rise of Castlehead Wood provides a panoramic view of Derwentwater and Catbells fell.
On December 17-18th 2010, our transatlantic visit to Keswick coincided with unusually cold and snowy weather. Fortunately, besides our cold-weather hiking gear, we'd packed a snow brush for the rental car (standard winter gear in NY State), and were thus able to drive and hike despite the winter conditions.

Walk 004 Walla Crag & Derwent Water - This excellent six and a half mile walk starts in Great Wood near Keswick in the Lake District.
The walk takes in Ashness Bridge, Walla Crag and Castle Head from where there are stunning views across Derwent Water to Cat Bells, Causey Pike, Eel Crag & Grisedale Pike. Skiddaw is on display throughout almost all of the walk and, as the highest point is only 1234 feet, this walk shows that you do not have to climb the high mountains of the Lake District to witness its beautiful scenery. The walk ends with a lovely stroll around the lakeshore of Derwent Water, visiting Friars Crag, the Ruskin Monument and the Millennium Stone on the way.

Evening Stroll At Derwentwater
In May, 2013 my wife and I took a stroll alongside Derwentwater, Keswick as far as Friar's Crag and back. The light that evening was excellent, especially as the Sun feel behind the mountains towards sunset.

Castlerigg Stone Circle Winter Hike
Keswick is a small market town in the English Lake District. Just to its east, the Castlerigg Stone Circle is a Neolithic monument dating back about 5000 years. This 30 m diameter circle of standing stones sits on an upland plateau, dramatically framed by the distant fells (hills) of Blencathra, Helvellyn and Skiddaw. From Keswick, a circular route to the Castlerigg Stone Circle and back is an easy and popular day hike, as shown in this wintertime video. Starting from the Tourist Information Centre in the Moot Hall at the Market Square of Keswick, a 2.5 km hike eastwards along the Penrith Road (A5271) leads to a brown National Trust sign for the Castlerigg Stone Circle. This signpost points to a narrow, uphill lane (Eleven Trees), and after 1.5 km, the stone circle is reached, standing in isolation on a grassy plateau. Heading south beyond the monument, a narrow farm road (Castle Lane) meets the A591 road after 1.5 km. Across this road, a Public Footpath continues southward along the edge of farm fields. After 2 km, this footpath enters Springs Wood, and follows a small stream (Brockle Beck) as it cascades downhill. After 1km beyond Springs Wood, the hiking trail meets Springs Road, an urban road on the outskirts of Keswick. To the left, a steep and rocky path up Castlehead Wood leads to a panoramic viewpoint of Derwentwater and the rounded peaks of the surrounding fells. A final 1.5 km through the streets of Keswick lead back to the Moot Hall, for a total round trip hike of 10 km.
