Well, they chose a beautiful setting, I'll give them that. I only wish they'd chosen a stone with more character.

Does the stone placed there mean that the lake or that are is part of the National Trust?

Derwentwater is in an area known as the Lake District. I believe that large parts of the Lake District are under the care of the National Trust.

Thanks all for the comments, The character of the stone is the inside, there are 10 segments that represents 10 years, each of which has been hollowed out quite deep into the stone and each half of the stone matches up when put together, any more than that I don't know.
