Derwentwater or Derwent Water is a lake in the county of Cumbria in the northwest of England.
Quiet, near-serene, Derwentwater may not be as famous as nearby Windermere and Ullswater, but for those touring its shores, it's one of the Lake District's quietest pleasures.

Indeed, the lake's appeal lies in the sense of remoteness it exudes, even though it is only about ten minutes' walk from the town of Keswick.
