Reflections on Derwent Water, Cumbria (1 x PiP)
![Reflections on Derwent Water, Cumbria (1 x PiP) Reflections on Derwent Water, Cumbria (1 x PiP)](https://cdn.ipernity.com/200/38/94/45213894.27b67706.640.jpg?r2)

The view is down the lake from the town of Keswick towards the 'Jaws of Borrowdale' at southern end of Derwent Water. The fells on the other side of the lake are; Cat bells (prominent peak) 451 metres high, beyond is the bulk of Maiden Moor 576 metres, with the small peak of Castle Crag 290 metres, just visible to the left.
The unusual name Cat Bells may well have come from a distortion of "Cat Bields" meaning shelter of the wild cat, although this is not certain. The fell's name is sometimes written as Catbells.
The meaning of the name Maiden Moor is obscure, the name "Maiden" is given to many prehistoric hill forts but there is no evidence that a hill fort ever existed on the fell, it may refer to a place where games or rituals were played where maidens took part.
Castle Crag has an impressive appearance, a rugged height apparently blocking the valley of Borrowdale, which is squeezed between Castle Crag and Grange Fell, its neighbour on the other side. This narrow gorge known as the 'Jaws of Borrowdale', and is prominent in views from Keswick and Derwentwater. The summit area of the fell is believed to have been an ancient hill fort
Derwentwater (or Derwent Water) is one of the principal bodies of water in the Lake District National Park in north west England. It lies wholly within the Borough of Allerdale, in the county of Cumbria.
The lake occupies part of Borrowdale and lies immediately south of the town of Keswick. It is both fed and drained by the River Derwent. It measures approximately is 4.8 km long by 1.6 km wide and is some 22 m deep. There are several islands within the lake, one of which is inhabited. Derwent Island House, an 18th-century residence, is a tenanted National Trust property open to the public on five days each year.
