Dodd Wood

Towering high above Bassenthwaite Lake, Dodd Wood provides unrivalled views from Derwent Water to the south and to the hills of Dumfries and Galloway. These are especially enjoyed by those prepared to make the journey to the summit.

 Dodd Wood offers attractive and varied waymarked trails from a central carpark with picnic areas, tearoom and toilets.

In the spring each year Dodd Wood becomes the focus of attention for bird lovers waiting for the arrival of the Bassenthwaite Ospreys who can be seen from a viewpoint in the forest.
