Borrowdale 
There are pleasant trips into Borrowdale, one of the most beautiful valleys in the Lake District, or round Derwentwater (10mi/16km), passing the Falls of Lodore, made famous by Southey's poem. Particular beauty spots in Borrowdale, which is famed for its fine birch trees and its good-quality slate, are Grange-in-Borrowdale and Rosthwaite.
The National Trust protects 11,806ha (29,173 acres) in Borrowdale including eleven farms, half of Derwent Water, the hamlet of Watenlath and well known sites such as the Bowder Stone, Casterligg Stone Circle, Friar's Craig and Ashness Bridge.
