The pointed little ridge on the western side of Derwentwater is the postcard fell of the northern Lakes — a perfect first peak with a real summit feel, modest in height (451 m) but with the lake on one side and the Newlands Valley on the other.
Take the launch from Keswick to Hawes End, walk up the well-trodden path to the top, and either return the same way or carry on along the ridge to High Brandelhow for a different boat back. Four miles, two and a half hours. Slippery in the wet; in summer, expect company.
