Across Derwent Water from The Landings Keswick

 

Looking across Derwent Water

From the boat landings in Keswick

Straight ahead is Cat Bells

An easy walk up

Maybe you are stiff from driving

On the shore line below

Woodlands

 

The first National Trust property

Brandelhow

Pleasant walks through the woods 

For those who dislike hilly walks

Or for those cold wintery days

 

To the right

Newlands Valley -

The mountain pass

Into Buttermere

 

Whinlatter Forest Park

Lord Seat

For those who's 

Eyes are sharp

Patience Long

Luck in abundance

 

Falcons

Red Kite, or

Osprey

May be seen

Hunting

 

Boats leave the Landings

To cross the lake

Or round trip

You may choose

With lots of mountain views

Your part of the world is a feast Wild Rose for lovers of nature. Methinks you should be writing for the Tourist Board. You make it so attractive. Beautiful writing.

Chris

Thank you Christine Write for the Tourist Board
I don't have an 'Arts' degree - they are so choosy
Any way I want to write for pleasure not go for time schedules AND write what they tell you to say

Who needs an Ordinance Survey Map or Observers Guide to Birds when we got you my dear Wild Rose... nicely penned bit o poetry and true.... cheers.. Neville

[Wild Rose]

Ordinance Survey maps -- Yes we use them I sometimes will read one like a book > I look up place names mentioned in the news
WE can drive to mant places without the map until we reach the local area
As for birds We have several books > She can recognise most native birds without one
That what you get if you marry a gamekeepers daughter

[Neville]

Ah' I see...so you have nothing to grouse about and life is a series of celebrations......... Neville

[Wild Rose]

Now it is NO WORK
Time to sit and Ponder
How did we manage to fit everything in when we worked ?????

[Neville]

Pondering is good though innit......

A parochial itinerary. Of landmarks, graded walks, and ornithological attractions.
The reader can easily hear the tour guide's voice.
