And, just to prove the point I made about lakes in the article on Bowness, welcome to Ullswater.
I'd like a £ for every photo that's been taken at this viewpoint! Ullswater is the second largest lake in the region by both area and volume, after Windermere. The lake is about 7 miles long, 0.75 miles wide, and has a maximum depth of 63 metres.
Steamer services started in 1859, and the two vessels, 'Lady of the Lake' and 'Raven', have been there almost as long, although both were converted to diesel in the 1930s. There is a newer one, 'Lady Dorothy', which runs a winter service.
