Lakes and waterfalls in Lake District National Park
The Lake District National Park features a diverse range of glacial bodies of water, from Windermere, the largest natural lake in England, to the deep, mountain-fringed waters of the western fells. This list highlights significant sites like Ullswater, known for its heritage 'steamer' cruises, and Aira Force, a 65-foot waterfall managed by the National Trust. Smaller waters like Rydal and Grasmere offer literary connections to William Wordsworth, while the cascading Stock Ghyll Force and the remote Crummock Water showcase the region's dramatic geological heritage.
