What to expect

Expect a relaxed, low-level circular walk around Derwent Water, with plenty of time to stop, take in the surroundings, and talk. This is not a strenuous hike, it's a steady, social pace designed to help you notice more about the landscape as you go.

Along the route, we'll discuss topics such as flooding, climate change, conservation, SSSI's, and responsible access, with optional litter picking where safe to do so. The aim is to leave with a better understanding of how this landscape works and how we can help protect it.
