Lake District Walks | The Derwent Water Walk - a full clockwise circuit!

The Derwentwater Walk is a 10 mile scenic walk around Derwentwater, in the English Lake District, starting out of Keswick. In the film, Neil sets out on the anticlockwise route, but the route can be done at any pace you choose, and in either direction, or even by launch.
Check out the route here: explore.osmaps.com/route/2091...
The route is one of the Lake District National Park Authority's "Miles Without Stiles" walks - www.lakedistrict.gov.uk/visiting/things-to-do/walking/mileswithoutstiles/mws34
Visit Keswick's excellent guide to the route can be found here: www.keswick.org/what-to-do/walking-routes/derwentwaterwalk

    I fell in love with the Lake District on my first of two crossing along the Coast to Coast way back in the mid 1980s. Derwent water away from the hustle and bustle of the road is very peacefull and relaxing, but I have only ever done it from Keswick to Borrowdale and visa versa, but later in the year I will attempt a full circuit with my trusty Canon Camera and tripod to stock up on some photographic Memories for the time I know will come when I can no longer hike the Fells, Valleys and Mountains in the area. There is nothing more relaxing for me than a two weeks ramble round the Lake District than a Lakeside stroll on my way to Borrowdale and Stonetwaite Campsite, for a weeks hiking or the hike back to Keswick to catch the Coach back to flat Essex. Now I am retired I am planning another visit this summer to recharge my Memory Banks with the scenic Beauty of Derwent Water and Borrowdale. Now I am retired I may even change from my normal camping routine at and opt for B&B. Thank You LDF for the video. Tony in Essex.

    Derwentwater is my favourite, but that might be because it's the one we've spent the most time at! Fantastic video!

    Another enjoyable vlog, thank you. It is good to see a low level walk included, as they should not be ignored just because walkers are capable of climbing the highest fells. They are excellent for a leisurely rest day or bad weather on the tops, the Derwent Water circular being one of the finest. Many years ago I walked with friends around the Borrowdale end of the Lake in mid winter. Dusk was approaching and we reached the point where you mentioned it was prone to flooding and impassible. However, I new better and we didn’t want to turn back as we were so close to the road. We decided to wade across a number of flooded channels, with we me leading the way. I stepped into the last channel with the immortal words “I wonder how deep this is?” before disappearing. My mountain chums nearly died, laughing😂
