Locations
Ravenglass
Ravenglass is the only coastal village in the Lake District offering stunning views across the estuary towards the Irish Sea. The village is home to the Ravenglass and Eskdale railway and Muncaster Castle.
Maryport & Solway Coast
While the town of Maryport is not within the Lake District National Park, it is recognised as the starting point for the Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
Haweswater
Haweswater is one of the lesser-visited lakes in the Lake District due to the lack of facilities and poor accessibility. For this reason, it is also one of the more tranquil areas of the national park.
Bassenthwaite Lake
Bassenthwaite is not one of the more popular lakes, as it is on the northern edge of the national park away from the tourist hotspots of Ambleside and Windermere
Derwentwater
Derwentwater is hailed as 'Queen of the Lakes', and is surrounded by some of the most magnificent scenery in the Lake District.
Whitehaven
Whitehaven has been designated a "gem town" by the Council for British Architecture due to the historic quality of the town environment and over 170 listed buildings.
Crummock Water
Crummock Water is one of three lakes in the Buttermere valley. Buttermere, Crummock Water and Loweswater occupy this long glaciated valley leading North and West towards Cockermouth and the coast.
Ashness Bridge & Surprise View
Ashness Bridge is probably the most photographed place in the Lake District. If not, it must come a close second.
Tewet Tarn
Tewet Tarn, also known as Tewitt Tarn, is a very small lake just outside Keswick in the Lake District National Park. The tarn is relatively easy to get to but about 10 minutes / 1 mile walk from the nearest parking location. Here you'll find details of the area, how to get there and some of my favourite photographic locations and scenic viewpoints..
Blea Tarn
Blea Tarn is a small tarn or lake in between the two valleys of Great Langdale and Little Langdale near to Ambleside in the Lake District National Park. An internet search shows that this is one of the most photographed locations in the Lake District and once you get there it is easy to see why. Here you'll find details of the area, how to get there and some of my favourite photographic locations and scenic viewpoints..
Ennerdale Water
Ennerdale Water is the most westerly lake of the Lake District and a Site of Special Scientific Interest. It is also one of the most remote of the lakes in the Lakes District and the only one without a road running around it. .
Birks Bridge
The River Duddon flows through some of the most beautiful, remote and least-visited areas of the Lake District National Park. Narrow lanes and difficult access to major roads make the Duddon Valley one of the most unspoilt areas of the National Park.
Wasdale and Wastwater
Wasdale is remote, tranquil, and a truly beautiful valley in the western Lake District National Park in Cumbria in north-west England. The name came from old Norse word Vatnsdalr, meaning "valley of the water".
