点评:It’s easy to understand why Derwentwater is often referred to as “The Queen of the Lakes” as it really does have everything. Boat, car or on foot, it’s easy to spend a full day on or around the lake.
If arriving by car, there is a large car park near the Theatre by the Lake but make sure you are parked between the lines as there are some very eagle eyed car park attendants around! Toilets are by the car park but better to use the toilets at the nearby cafe if you don’t want to pay.
It’s a short walk from the car park to the Lake where you can buy tickets for the famous launches. You can sail all around the lake or sail part way and have a walk, returning to the boat at a later time. The views are magnificent!
It’s possible to drive around the lake where again you can experience superb views. The road from Keswick towards Borrowdale is very picturesque as it mainly follows the lake side. There are a couple of National Trust car parks on that particular section of the road with great views of Catbells and its neighbouring fells. When you reach Grange in Borrowdale cross over the river by the old bridge and follow the road along the other side of the lake. Parking places are limited ( unfortunately, some visitors assume they can park in designated passing places) but there are amazing views across the lake towards Skiddaw and Blencathra.
It is possible to walk right around the Lake if you’ve sufficient energy - but one short but very beautiful walk is from the car park to Friars’ Crag. It’s on the level and ends with fantastic views down the length of Derwentwater to Castle Crag and beyond.
翻译:很容易理解为什么德文特湖经常被称为“湖中女王”,因为它确实应有尽有。无论是乘船、开车还是步行,您都可以轻松地在湖上或湖边度过一整天。
如果开车前来,湖边剧院附近有一个大型停车场,但请确保将车停在两边之间,因为周围有一些非常敏锐的停车场服务员!厕所在停车场旁边,但如果您不想付费,最好使用附近咖啡馆的厕所。
从停车场步行一小段路即可到达湖边,您可以在那里购买著名游轮的门票。您可以绕湖航行,也可以航行一段路然后散步,稍后再回到船上。景色非常壮观!
您可以驾车绕湖行驶,再次欣赏绝佳的景色。从凯西克通往博罗代尔的道路风景如画,因为它主要沿着湖边。在这条特定路段上有几个国家信托停车场,可以欣赏到卡特贝尔斯及其邻近山丘的美景。当您到达 Borrowdale 的 Grange 时,从旧桥过河,沿着湖对岸的道路前行。停车位有限(不幸的是,一些游客以为他们可以在指定的过道停车),但湖对面 Skiddaw 和 Blencathra 的景色令人惊叹。
如果您有足够的精力,可以绕湖散步 - 但有一条很短但非常美丽的步行道是从停车场到 Friars’ Crag。这条路很平坦,可以欣赏到德文特湖到 Castle Crag 及更远处的壮丽景色。
