HRH Unveils Plaque in Crow Park, Keswick<\/a><\/h2>\n

This Tuesday 27th March, the beautiful Lake District sunshine and blue skies\u00a0gave a warm\u00a0welcome to HRH Prince of Wales, who arrived in the northern Lakes by train to celebrate the Lake District\u2019s UNESCO World Heritage status. The Price was even able to shed his heavy Tweed overcoat for his day trip!<\/p>\n

Here, we take a look at two of his stops, Derwent Water and Ullswater in the gloriously quiet North Lakes.<\/p>\n

Why Crow Park, Keswick?<\/h3>\n

Conservation was a key factor in the Lake District winning\u00a0World Heritage Status in 2017, and England\u2019s largest\u00a0National Park\u00a0has had an important role historically in shaping a global conservation movement.\u00a0One of the UK\u2019s largest conservation charity, the\u00a0National Trust was first established in 1985 and one of the founding member\u2019s was Keswick local, Canon Hardwicke Rawnsley, vicar of nearby Low Wray Church.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0National Trust owned Crow Park is a shining example of the Lake\u2019s commitment to preserving unique landscapes for future generations and Lakelovers are\u00a0proud to be celebrating this.<\/p>\n

A Royal Day Trip to Derwent Water and Ullswater<\/h3>\n

As well as taking in the spectacular views from the shore of Derwent Water, looking relaxed and casual after shedding his heavy tweet overcoat thanks for the glorious Lake District spring weather, the\u00a0Prince also\u00a0found time to\u00a0enjoy a jaunt with award-wining Lake District attraction\u00a0Ullswater Steamers, and he even had a go at steering their flagship vessel, \u2018Lady of the Lake\u2019.<\/p>\n

Derwent Water<\/h3>\n

Derwent Water lies south of the northern capital of the Lake District, Keswick. This is one of the most dog friendly holiday destinations in the UK where there is little traffic, plenty of quiet country walks, not lots of crowds and welcoming, dog friendly cafes and shops in Keswick. Keswick is also a popular holiday destination for families, as you\u2019ll find 3\u00a0public parks (Fitz Park, Crow Park and Hope Park) a great leisure pool, the award-winning Theatre By\u00a0The Lake, Whinlatter Forest for cycling, Cat Bells for mountain bagging and excellent dining options.<\/p>\n

On a warm and bright\u00a0spring day this week, HRH Prince of Wales visited Crow Park in Keswick and on the shore of Derwent Water, where he unveiled a plaque officially marking the UNESCO World Heritage status of the Lake District.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

England\u2019s second largest lake, Ullswater is often regarded as the most beautiful and we know that a peaceful glide with Ullswater Steamers is the ideal way to take in the stunning scenery. Taken from our Lakelovers Recommends<\/a><\/strong> list, don\u2019t forget that buying a\u00a0full \u2018round the lake\u2019 pass entitles you to\u00a0receive a 50% off voucher to visit the sister attraction, Lakeside\u2019s\u00a0Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway, on another day.<\/p>\n

Of course, a trip to Ullswater in spring would not be the same without a visit to\u00a0the daffodils dancing on the breeze at Glencoyne Bay, which inspired one of William Wordsworth\u2019s most famous poems \u2018I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud\u2019.<\/p>\n

We have beautiful cottages around the shore of Ullswater, and close to the piers of Howtown, Pooley Bridge, Glenridding and Aira Force. The car-free eastern shore, between Howtown and Glenridding is a particular favourite of ours. You can now also follow daffodil way-marked path on the 20-mile Ullswater Way.<\/p>\n
