The Lake District is by far my favourite place in England so I was very excited to finally be filming here. This walk was shot on day one of our trip and as you can see, the fading light made for a very dramatic feel to the walk as we finished in near darkness.

Derwentwater, or Derwent Water, is a lake in the Lake District in North West England, immediately south of Keswick. The name 'Derwent' means '(River) with oak trees'. It is the third largest lake by area, after Windermere and Ullswater and has a length of 4.6 kilometres (2.9 mi), a maximum width of 1.91 kilometres (1.19 mi), and an area of 5.4 square kilometres (2.1 sq mi).

There are several islands within the lake, one of which is inhabited. The largest, Derwent Island is seven acres and still has a house on to this day. Derwent Island House is a Grade II listed 18th-century Italianate house and is currently in the ownership of the National Trust. It is leased as a private home, but is open to the public five days a year.

Lord's Island, St Herbert's Island, Rampsholme Island, Park Neb, Otter Island and Otterbield Island are the other islands on the lake.

Saint Herbert of Derwentwater was an Anglo-Saxon priest and hermit who lived on the small St Herbert's Island. His friendship with St Cuthbert is explored in a poem by William Wordsworth.

Lord's Island got its name from the Earls of Derwentwater who used to live here. Not only was there a fine house on this island but it also had a drawbridge which was used to cross to the mainland.

Friars' Crag derives its name from its use as an embarkment point by monks making a pilgrimage to the island. Both Friars' Crag and St Herbert's Island are now owned by the National Trust. The crag is at the end of a promontory about half a mile south of the modern boat landing-stages at Keswick, and is reached by a footpath along the eastern side of the lake.

The Ruskin Monument is a memorial to the art critic and social reformer John Ruskin and is located at Friar's Crag, Keswick, Cumbria. It was erected on 6 October 1900, shortly after his death, largely through the efforts of Hardwicke Rawnsley.

The monument consists of a monolithic block of Borrowdale stone. It is of the type of the standing stones of Galloway, the earliest Christian monuments of the Celtic people, and was chosen as a link with Scotland, the land of Ruskin's fore-elders.

Ruskin said of the spot: 'The first thing that I remember as an event in life was being taken by my nurse to the brow of Friars' Crag, Derwentwater. The intense joy mingled with awe that I had in looking through the hollows in the mossy roots over the crag into the dark lake has associated itself more or less with all twining roots of trees ever since'.
