Overview

Lovely paths to explore alongside Derwent Water, within walking/rollin distance of Keswick town centre. Large car park nearby. Mix of tarmac, gravel, firm dirt, hard stone and boardwalk. I was on electric scooter and easily did 8km after a day of continuous rain, so drains/dries easily. Beautiful scenery over the lake or back to the mountains to the north. It was easy to pass others on almost all paths. Became less busy the further I went from the car park. There were a few gates but they were light enough for me to operate from my chair. There were a number of benches if you needed a rest.

Transport & Parking

Loads of blue badge spaces near the start at the lakeside car park. Follow signs from main road.

Access

It’s all relatively flat so depends on your level of mobility. I was in my electric wheelchair and it was fine. So god I did it 3 times in 3 days!

Toilets

There is a cafe at the start that is accessible and new so I’m hoping they’d be ok.

Staff

no contact with any staff.
