Cliff-edge panorama over Derwentwater.
Surprise View does what it says: you’re climbing the wooded Watendlath lane above Borrowdale when the trees fall away at a roadside crag and the whole length of Derwentwater opens up below, with the northern fells beyond. There’s room to pull in and take it in. It sits just up the same narrow lane from Ashness Bridge, so most people take in the pair together.
