Photos of Wast Water

Wast Water, the deepest (and in my opinion, probably the prettiest) of the lakes in the Lake District.


Wast Water, evening light
Wast Water looking east. The outline of the three peaks of Great Gable, Scafell pike, and Lingmell was selected as he emblem of the Lake District National Park.

Wast Water from Scafell Pike
Wast Water and Ilgill Head, from Scafell Pike. The climb up Scafell is not difficult, but it affords superb views over the lake below.
Yewbarrow bridge, Wasdale Head
Wasdale Head is one of the most popular destinations for walkers. One popular trail leads up Scafell Pike from here. This old bridge across Mosedale Beck lies at the foot of Yewbarrow.
Wast Water, Ilgill Fell
Ilgill Fell reflected in the waters of Wast Water. A footpath runs right along the water at the foot of the fell, making for a circular walk around the lake.
