Great Wood Car Park
National Trust car park outside Keswick, well placed for Great Wood, Calfclose Bay and walks around Derwent Water.
Finding the entrance
Travelling south from Keswick on the B5289, do not use the first National Trust entrance on the left because its gate may be locked. Continue for roughly 100 metres to the signed car park entrance on the left.
