Wastwater

Situated in the west of the county, Wastwater is England's deepest lake and lies at the foot of England's highest mountain, Scafell Pike. Voted 'Britain's Favourite View' it is simply is stunning.. The road winding along the lakeshore to the head of the Wasdale Vallley offers impressive views of the famous screes that drop dramatically to the waters edge. You might catch a glimpse of groups of deep water divers who love the lake to submerge themselves in.. or if you have a good couple of hours or so, you can walk around the entire perimeter.
