Lord's Island
Lord's Island is situated in a quiet part of the lake. To protect the resident wildlife, such as the nesting geese, we ask you not to land here and to respect a 'no-paddle' zone between the main shoreline and the island. However it is worth paddling past on the far side at this time of year to see the primroses.
Lord's Island was once the residence of the Earls of Derwent Water. A great house used to exist on the island dating from around 1460, with a drawbridge across to the mainland. The house is now gone, although you can still make out its foundations.
