Bench with a View of Derwentwater, Dodd

Highlight • Forest

This a wonderfully positioned bench that can be found on one of the many woodland trails that work their way up Dodd in the Northern Lake District. A great place to stop and rest weary feet.

Lower Osprey Viewpoint, Dodd Wood

Highlight • Viewpoint

Ospreys returned to Bassenthwaite in 2001 thanks to several years of sterling work by the good folk of the Lake District Osprey Project. There are a couple of viewpoints above Bassenthwaite Lake in Dodd Wood that you can watch for these majestic birds. Dodd, a Wainwright summit, makes for an energetic ramble from here.
