Autumn at Derwent Water

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 Trustproperty open to the public on five days each year.

Brundholme Wood

The final section of my walk took me through Brundholme Wood on the road back to Keswick.

Lonscale Fell

2nd part of today's walk took me partly up Lonscale Fell and around to Glenderaterra Beck.

To the north of the fell is Skiddaw Forest. Confusingly this forest contains no trees, —other than the windbreak of Skiddaw House — but is a marshy upland area at around 1,300 ft surrounded on all sides by higher fells.
