Is it worthwhile walking around Derwent Water? Is it too far and more importantly is there food along the way?
Well, with stunning views, interesting fauna and flora, history, cafes, pubs and ice cream stalls, places to go for a dip and a lost teddy - Derwent Water pretty much has it all!

That house that you passed near Lingholm that you called 'creepy' is where my Dad grew up. In fact he proposed to my Mother there back in 1958.

@MrSladej 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for these videos. I lived in Kendal prior to moving to Alberta Canada. Watching these brings back so many memories. Even the birds at the start of this video believe it or not. I get my own slice of heaven what with the Canadian Rockies but nothing for me really beats Cumbria.

Hi Glenn, that is such a lovely walk around Derwent Water. I did the walk last May. I also walked around Great Bay about 40 years ago in the winter when there was extensive flooding. I stepped into a channel and disappeared up to my neck, just managing to hold onto reeds to stop going completely under. It was a long cold walk back into Keswick! I actually like the section near Brandelhow, which you found unattractive. Each to their own 😊. I understand that the piles of stones are actually spoil heaps from lead mines dating back to the 16th century, when Elizabeth 1st brought over German miners. I thoroughly enjoy all your vlogs, Cheers Paul

I've mentioned it before but I'd love to see you do the Cumbria Way. Fingers crossed I'm doing it in the next few years.

Yes I went to Hawes end and my group actually won the orei orie ...map reading competition 😊 I am now 57 so a little bit ago !

I really enjoy all you walks .for me this walk was worth it .I watch from Brisbane Australia . And also the the talks some times I talk back . Thank-you Jo

@TheGeezer30 6 месяцев назад

Manesty Woods is a lovely place. One can find some lovely spots in there for some solitude whilst enjoying the view.

@MrQuintonia 2 месяца назад

Thank you for this very interesting walk around Derwent water... And the OS link.. Brilliant

@johnmacdonald6345 6 месяцев назад

OMG just watched some of your vliogs from 5 years ago. The Priest Hole. Couldn't help noticing the "talk fest" and 90% is looking at you rather than the spectacular views that you can obviously see. I'm a big big fan of yours and so pleased that you now have the correct balance of views, you, and commentary. Hope to meet you one day on the fells. John Mac.

@this_family_hikes422 6 месяцев назад

I would definitely be interested in a separate review channel you mentioned doing.

@MrRennieFrumpkin 6 месяцев назад

Once you’ve done the Wainwrights could you do a series on what’s left…if there is anything?? …The ones that got away.

@juliesecker9405 6 месяцев назад

Thank you, Glen, for a lovely walk. When we visit Keswick, we always walk down to the lake in the evenings. Thanks for showing us the millennium stone and the calved hands. Did you, by any chance, see the bench with sticks spelling dogs' names on it. Another well-known mark.

@dixonpeter 6 месяцев назад

I prefer winter but this winter has been utter craptastico! Good for the heating bill though!😂

@jonboypatton 6 месяцев назад

Excellent 👍 I'm definitely doing this one. Excellent out tro music 🤟

@skatemetrix 6 месяцев назад

One of the longer lakes to go around but at least there is a more or less consistent path! You may want to try Ennerdale Water -- if the cloud keeps hugging the higher tops --- as that one a lot of good paths around it.

@phillipseaman5493 6 месяцев назад

Enjoyed that . Thanks . Please do the CW , and enjoy it 👍

@MrEvilWasp 6 месяцев назад

I can imagine parts of the path on the first half would be impossible from late spring onwards because of how overgrown they are. I live about half an hour away on the west coast so I could easily have a go at it one day, but like you I prefer to be up on the fells.

@garethwilson4940 6 месяцев назад

Another great video, cheers. We are actually staying in Portinscale end of march, we will most likely walk round anti clockwise, not all the way though, as we have a 4 month old lol. Maybe to the place that cannot be mentioned lol, oh and sample one of those burgers hahaha. Not done a full lap of Derwent before, but Thirlmere was interesting, especially after the big storms with a lot of the trees on their sides. Long old walk that one though, about 11 or 12 miles. The water level was pretty low too, so we could see old building works at the south end that were flooded by the reservoir.

@adrianhebberts8683 6 месяцев назад

Done this couple of years ago but detoured up to ashness bridge and surprise view so ended up doing 14 miles😂🥾🥵

@colinboxall2692 6 месяцев назад

Great watch Glenn. Those fells are calling you😂. I’m there all next week and the forecast is miserable. Going to be some wet days int those fells. This is a good walk but a better walk is to catch the bus from outside booths to seatoller. Get off and walk back to Keswick via Grange, castle crag, allerdale ramble and launch boat back to keswick. You can head up the old mine onto dale head down to cat bells. I wish there was a decent pub in Portinscale before not a fan of hotel bars. Dog and Gun should be open after the refit. Looking fwd to a pint or two next week. Cumbria way would be a good one for the summer.

@rogertatham5608 6 месяцев назад

Definitely do the Cumbria Way, it’s on my bucket list of multi day hikes to do aswell 👍

@CumbriaPreaching 6 месяцев назад

10 mile walk around Derwent water if you begin at Portinscale. Lots more videos of Keswick on my channel. 👍🏻

@GaryMorris222 6 месяцев назад

Thanks Glen for a great video definitely do the Cumbria way 👍 😀

@phillipbirchall7148 6 месяцев назад

Hi, another great video, ive been thinking of doing the cumbrian way this year myself, and not found many good instructional videos of it, ive walked all the wainwrights so know the lakes quite well, but unsure of the first stage to torver, so one of that section would be great haha 👍

@kevinsaward2005 6 месяцев назад

wherever you walk is o.k with me. 20 laps of your garden and i would watch.you got me out walking so i will follow your channel

@Mannaz82 6 месяцев назад

This is my daily run route, and in Nicol end, someone actually lives in one of the boats on bricks where "you wouldn't want to hang around at night". P.S That big Goose you pointed out I'm sure mugged a little kid of his dinner money the other week. It's massive, ha!

@davidmarshall5596 6 месяцев назад

Keswick area,possibly one of the most beautiful in not just UK but the world!!!! People travel thousands of miles to see this view across Derwent Water ! Stunning simply sublime ❤🎉

@willbo2000 6 месяцев назад

Fantastic walk mate although I was really hungry by the time we got to Lingholm Estate 😂 - Great to see the Brandelhow jetty repaired 👍👍👍

@tonyjoe5707 6 месяцев назад

Great video. We usually do this walk when the tops are clagged in and we've always done it anti clockwise from Keswick for some reason.

@paulyoung5393 6 месяцев назад

Back in Keswick next month, can't wait. Loved this walk, my brother did it last year when the path was even more flooded! Cumbria way video would be great. Finally, you need to slow down on that drive to Thirlmere otherwise there won't be a next video for us to enjoy! 🤣

@daveadiver 6 месяцев назад

Cumbrian Way video sounds like a fantastic idea!

@grahamtowler1761 6 месяцев назад

Probably the most people you've seen on a walk for a while, good again though. Pity they have to use a yellow barrier re caravans but can see why they do it.Yes Cumbria Way be a good one.Hope your toe standing up.

@jimmycburfield5997 6 месяцев назад

Good video I had a love hate relationship with Hawes End! I couldn’t canoe; well Kayak! I went there as part of a Dad’s group with Sure start in about 2012, it was brilliant! A really good way of getting people from west Cumbria to get involved with their national park. Shame the government scrapped sure start! Parking!!!!! Ruined many leisurely walks for me….5 hours often seems enough

@rhysjones6069 5 месяцев назад

Many thanks for this video, after watching it we booked a couple of nights in Keswick, and really enjoyed doing this walk. The first time for many years i have been to the Lake District, we will be back. Thank you so much for your channel, it really is a breath of fresh air.

@dt8ustotten285 6 месяцев назад

You crack me up!! Shoes?? You can't hike 9 plus miles on rough terrain on an empty stomach.. that meal looked like a bit of heaven and you deserved that :-)) You can't keep looking up at the mountains wishing you were there..we know how much you are drawn to there and that it feeds your soul.. but you were trying to do the right thing.. the day was pretty grim. Hey we love you and appreciate how you are real and give us all a great hike each and every time. Thanks for sharing!! Love from the USA!

@ybeev3409 6 месяцев назад

When I did this walk, anticlockwise, in September last year the part between the Chinese bridge and the road was completely underwater. I was not going to walk a few miles back to detour around Grange so I waded through. It came to the top of my calves so the waterproof boots were useless but hey all part of the adventure and a fantastic walk 🙂

@carlkay6677 6 месяцев назад

You only mentioned walking the Wainwrights 7 fell books, how about doing the Outlying Fells book. Perfect for those times when the higher fells are clagged-in (or for us oldies who may be too crocked for the bigger walks)

@mrtaffspoon 6 месяцев назад

I loved doing that walk. Super views. I would definitely do it again.

@sj3601 6 месяцев назад

I’m so poorly at the moment but it’s cheered me up watching this video! Can’t wait to get up to the lakes! Thanks for posting Glenn ❤

@ryanglynn7080 6 месяцев назад

One of my favourite all time walks in the lakes. Will be completing it again ina couple of weeks, tagging on Castle Crag, Suprise View, Ashness Bridge and Walla Crag. In my opinion the west side of the water is better, hence the amendments on the east banks. Love the content, keep it up!

@carlcornwalldrone 6 месяцев назад

@Muddipaws1308 6 месяцев назад

I nearly never found it as at some point i had to drop on and off the main road. Then chinese beidge was dlooded and had to walk all the way down to Borrowdale it was relentless.

@robholmes6041 6 месяцев назад

Brilliant as usual......don't blame you not hitting the tops yet.....we got blown allover the place on the tops around Buttermere at the weekend

@Brock_in_the_North 6 месяцев назад

Ennerdale would be another good lake to do a round and one people often don't do. Never done a round of derwent but the highlight has to be the southern end when you get that view of Castle Crag

@bigjohnsen1 6 месяцев назад

Would love to see you do the Cumbria Way as it's something I quite fancy doing too 👌 another great video too 👍👍

@csec99TV 6 месяцев назад

@ianbeech6227 6 месяцев назад

@wil10291 6 месяцев назад

Hiya Glenn....Lovely video of Derwent water...Was in keswick over weekend after walking Aira force and Gowbarrow (thanks for the map 😅😅)...Please do the Cumbria way its my favourite National trail after doing it last year 👍🏻😁👍🏻

@Rwecosher 6 месяцев назад

We went to Hawse End in November with work. Meant to go down the ghyls but it was torrential. Serious enough that they sacked it off, only to allow us to do a short section right at the bottom by newlands pass. Safe to say it was the right decision as we all popped out mildly traumatised.

@redbeardsbirds3747 6 месяцев назад

Loving this channel…such beautiful and unique landscape scenery ! These places remind me so much of the Appalachian Mountains…particularly the Blue Ridge Parkway that goes through western North Carolina and Virginia. I’d love to personally experience the Lake District some day. New subscriber from Alabama! 🪿🌿

@malcbury9739 6 месяцев назад

Thanks, Glen, for another entertaining video. Wish I was able to complete that walk, it looked awesome. And yes, methinks, as you are a 'seasoned' walker (and I mean that in a nice way!) you should deffo do reviews about walking/hiking gear, including footwear, their weather resistance, durability and comfort. And did I see it right? £8.20 for parking? 😱 Bloody rip-off! But that aside, thanks again 🙂👍

@markprice470 2 месяца назад

lovely walk Glenn - some wonderful views.. Couldn't agree more on innov8 boots... I have had many pairs and they are so comfortable and great grip but they don't last and always split in the same places - a real shame!

@andrewmellor6920 6 месяцев назад

Done this route twice, once slightly higher up as part of the Keswick Mountain Festival 25K race but it’s a good one. Interesting about the Inov8 Rocklite 400’s. I’ve just had a pair replaced by the manufacturer as the soles were coming off the heels after less than 100 miles. Shame as like you say, really comfy!

@johnyates1470 6 месяцев назад

Yes do it Cumbria way in 24 hrs would be great

@lyndamarland9405 6 месяцев назад

Hi Glen, Thank you for you fabulous vlog as always Such beautiful scenery and making me laugh as usual your humour is brilliant 🤩 lol to cute creepy house 🏡 def more creepy than cute!…..I would love to see a vlog on the Cumbria way 💙

@Dunworkin 6 месяцев назад

Great video as usual! I've done this walk the other way round a few times. Once the levels of Derwentwater were so high that I had to walk on the road, via Grange. I must so it clockwise when I'm back in Keswick this June, as you pointed out so many things that I missed while going anticlockwise. Cheers!

@juliecarter9540 6 месяцев назад

Loved everything about this video, soothing listening to the water and the birds. You must do clothing reviews too, having watched many of your videos, hubby admired your Revolution Race trousers and now has 4 pairs, like you say best thing since sliced bread. Look forward to your next trip to Cumbria.

@sharonrojas9569 6 месяцев назад

Lovely walk today and it didn't seem to hurt my sore back. I suppose the weather in the Lake District is like our weather in Texas. IF you don't like it, wait five minutes. Have a blessed week. Yes, I would love to see a video of the Cumbria Way.

@jamstaa69 6 месяцев назад

Argh that walk, so many memories, many of that flaming road section.. but love the tea rooms in portingscale.. always been a nice stop off, a bit further along the road from where you stopped, but can be busy because it’s right on the route.. nice walk, I miss the wild walks, live too far from the mountains.

@sideakin9272 5 месяцев назад

Done this walk many times but usually anti clockwise. Portinscale cafe does a brilliant breakfast. I usually go over the hill instead of round the boatyard though. Last time my " companions " had had enough by the time we got to the lodore hotel so they went back on the open top bus . I went back via lodore falls, surprise view , ashness Bridge , walla crag taking the path just before castlerigg campsite down through spring wood into Keswick ( passing people slogging up the hill with boothes shopping!)

@Dagrdottir 6 месяцев назад

Loved this video-I used to visit a family friend in Keswick a lot when I was younger and I loved all of this area. Please do a series on Cumbria Way it would be fantastic. I fancy a burger and an Ice cream cornet now...or maybe an oyster (though they are so small now they should be called winkles!) I wouldn't share because it's shellfish🤣😂

@mikey_b_here 6 месяцев назад

Great vid as per usual; love Keswick and Derwent Water. How about a Cumbria Way Wild Camping Adventure?

@craigwilson1604 Месяц назад

Glad I found this video im staying in portinscale next week and gonna do that walk now but anti clockwise to end up in Wetherspoons 😊

@Caffeine_And_Seawater 6 месяцев назад

I love this walk, we will often add Catbells into it as well, or walk along to the little tea shop at the very end of derwent past the Chinese bridge to add a bit more to it. Also a stop off in Java or Square Orange in the town isa must after

@seanspringett2914 5 месяцев назад

Glenn I plan to do this wee walk with 8 friends and I know.u stopped at the end for a beer and scran but is there many spots round this walk where we can grab refreshments And u said its about 10 miles? Doing it next week. Hope u can reply. Fellow patroen x. Sean

@Merritt7278 6 месяцев назад

Love this walk Glen, always do this 10 mile circular when we visit the lakes especially when the weathers poor, we go the same way round but start at the base of walla crag, always have a cake and coffee treat at the end of it in Keswick in a place called The wild Strawberry, bloody lovely. I'm back in the lakes next month and can't wait.

@samwolf2539 6 месяцев назад

Nope, definitely wouldn't get under that barrier in the van. I have a Custom and unless the barrier says 2m10 I don't risk it, and even then I send a minion to check first 😂

@iwasapirateonce1639 6 месяцев назад

I would love to see you do a Cumbria Way video, especially as you would be able to say so much about the history of the various sections and places. I love my Inov8 shoes but I have heard their goretex versions fall apart after a couple hundred kilometers. If it's really wet and boggy I use my normal ones with waterproof socks.

@bradventuresinvw6784 6 месяцев назад

We did this yesterday but ended up doing 13 miles due to navigational anomalies 🤔 Guiness may have been involved. 😜 wish I’d seen this first. Great walk

@duckypam 6 месяцев назад

Please a Cumbria way video. That would be wonderful. I have seen a couple of videos of it and it's just an area that we don't see a lot on these videos (watching vicariously from Southern California)

@kenshinkarate3463 6 месяцев назад

Thank you. Love the Dog and Gun for a beer and a single malt.

@mrfoameruk 6 месяцев назад

We are too old to walk all of it (late 60's). If leaving from Keswick by boat are there any stops on the several boat stops that are best to stop off for food and a relaxing time. ie a pub/cafe etc next to the lake. Could walk a bit ie half a mile to get it if none on the actual route.
