Wastwater
Cumbria, England
The views of the Lake District have been celebrated and immortalised by countless artists, poets and writers, and it was the charms of views like this one at Wastwater that drew people to the area and began the tradition of the British tourist over 200 years ago. Small wonder then, that the sublime sight of the still lake beneath the lowering hills still has the power to thrill the nation.
