I waited a long time for a visit to this lake and it has become my favourite of the lakes. Wild, beautiful and unspoilt. Buttermere and Crummock Water come second and third.

In the western Lake District is Wast Water, England's deepest lake and considered by many to be England's most scenic view. Who could argue, with a left to right view of Yewbarrow, Great Gable and England's highest peak, Scafell Pike.
