Calm before the storm (HFF Everyone)
HFF 09/04/2021
The larger boats in the picture are two of several operated by the Keswick Launch Company. They start their journey here at the Keswick boat landings and cruise around the lake stopping at seven lakeshore jetties where you may go ashore or join the various boats. Alternatively, you can stay on the boat and enjoy the 50 minute trip around Derwentwater.
Derwentwater (or Derwent Water) 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 is 4.8 km long by 1.6 km wide and is some 22 m deep. There are several islands within the lake, one of which is inhabited.

The island on the left is Derwent Island, but the house itself is hidden by the trees.
All the best, Doug
