Please note: if you're approaching from Keswick, as you head down the Borrowdale Road you will be tempted to turn into the first National Trust entrance you see on the left, however if you park here you may find yourself locked in! Just keep going for about another 100m and you'll reach Great Wood car park.
Parking at Great Wood is just the beginning...
It's one of the most popular photo opportunities to be had on the shores of Derwent Water, just across the road from the entrance to Great Wood, you'll find some steps down to a path that leads to the lakeshore at Calfclose Bay, where you can see the well known Centenary Stone sculpture.
Take some snaps, relax on bench and drink in the views, or if you fancy something abit more adventurous, this is a great place to access the 10 miles of easy level walking that makes up the round Derwent Water walk.
