If you like to walk from the door, and explore more thoroughly the stories behind the landscape, then you might be interested in an 8 mile circular walk which starts and finishes at Derwentwater Independent Hostel (Now Closed), in the heart of the Lake District National Park.

Lots of firsts for Derwentwater Hostel (Barrow House). Now Closed.
Derwentwater Hostel (Barrow House) has been in continuous use as a hostel since 1961, but we still managed to have lots of firsts in 2015, from pig nuts to paramotors. Sadly in March 2024 the hostel closed for good.
