The English Lake District. A view of this wonderful wild lake from the very south west shore. The way around the lake from here is either along a very rough scree path which is slippy and a little dangerous on the right or through the woods on the left (Low Wood) and then along the lakeside path which parallels the minor but sometimes busy road. That is where most of the visitors here walk, us too! We are looking towards Yewbarrow and High Fell. England's highest mountain Scafell Pike sits just out of sight to the right here. Enjoy full size.

A five photo panoramic view of the whole of this lake as seen from the high Corpse road. To the left. Just above the corner hills you can just make out the Solway Firth and to the right we see Crummock Water in the far distance. We now carry on walking left before returning to our car parked on the left side of this lake. With this photo, one can easily place most of my preceding photos on here. Enjoy full screen

As we start this day out, we are greeted by these beautiful 'Belted Galloway' cows as we approach Loweswater in our English Lake District. Of course the weather is quite typical of this area and we have had to postpone this walk till later in the day as it was raining so hard earlier. We spoke to the framer, who owned these cows, and apparently they had only been introduced into this field moments before I took this, in fact the very small herd of around twelve cows had only just arrived from the county of Staffordshire the day before.They must be better suited to this area as the Scottish county of Galloway can be seen in the distance higher and behind me about 30 miles away across the Solway Firth. Enjoy full size.
