Setmurthyの湖・トップ9

Over Water is a secluded lake in the northern part of the Lake District National Park. It lies at an altitude of 188 meters and was artificially enlarged by a dam in 1904 to serve as a drinking water reservoir for Wigton—a function it fulfilled until October 2022. The surrounding area offers beautiful views of the water and the surrounding hills such as Binsey, Great Cockup, and Longlands Fell.

Lovely walk down through the woods after Sale Fell. Clearly marked paths and it pops you out just above The Pheasant Inn which was a welcome stop for a pint (Great food as well, went back there that evening...booking advised!)

The BEST view on Sale Fell as Adventurer Nic says it is far superior to the summit of Sale Fell. On a clear day the sheer depth of landscape the eye can see is possible one of the most idyllic views in the entire Lake District. If the bench is occupied - don’t worry as the view can be enjoyed for several yards along the path. On some days this makes for a nice place to stop for a mid-hike picnic as the lower elevation makes it a little less windy than the summit on some days.

Over Water is a beautiful, remote tarn nestled beneath the fells of Binsey, Great Cockup and Longlands.

Quiet road with a very pretty view

Not as cold when your feet go numb..

In my opinion, the view from this spot is far superior to the view from the actual summit of Sale Fell. A gorgeous sight across Bassenthwaite Lake over to the Skiddaw Massif. On a good weather day, the views from here are one of the best in Lakeland. A very well-placed bench marks the spot too

One of the many stunning lakes in the Lake District, Bassenthwaite stretches for 4 miles (6.4 km) amongst the hills. There are no major settlements on the lake, instead you will find The Lakes Distillery serving spirits, a few pubs, and Bassenthwaite Sailing Club. The lake is also home to the vendace, a rare and endangered fish which is only found in Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite.
