A couple of weeks ago I visited the Lake District in the North West of England. The English Lake District is a large National Park, made up of over 80 glacial lakes, mountain tarns and reservoirs. Strictly speaking only one body of water is officially referred to as a lake - Bassenthwaite Lake. The others are referred to as mere or water. Tarns are small glacial mountain lakes.
I stayed in a beautiful guest house in Bassenthwaite village close to Derwent Water. As soon as I arrived I went for a walk alongside the water's edge.
I have visited the Lake district and it is a beautiful area, you captured the atmosphere very well.
ReplyDeleteBit like Wales, one min sunny next is rain. The place looks typical for this time of year
ReplyDeleteEvery person I know who has been to the Lake District waxes lyrically about how beautiful it is. Hmm, seems like Melbourne weather there.

ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how the pictures can change throughout the day. A beautiful area of England. Your post has brought back memories of our last trip there. We went on the cruise on the Derwent Water. I love the coloured boats and their reflections. I have been lax at getting around blogs lately (Spring gardening time) but I have just scrolled through your posts they are all so interesting.
