Footpath through Lodore Hotel On my map this is supposed to be a Permissive path to avoid using the road. On the latest O.S. mapping it's classed as a Public Footpath.

Either way its use is not welcoming and the 'bridge' over the beck just beyond the gate is very precarious.

Derwent Water Derwentwater - one word or two? - either is acceptable. The boat in the photograph has obviously sunk. The amount visible above the water shows that the lake is not actually very deep at this point - maybe it simply ran aground.
