    Once a smaller, natural lake, Thirlmere is a reservoir that was created in the 19th century to supply water to the burgeoning industrial powerhouse of Manchester. The reservoir occupies the valley between the huge Helvellyn range to the east and the Central Fells to the west.



    The car park here can be used to access Raven Crag, which rewards with a glorious view along the length of Thirlmere.
