Britain's favourite view
In a celebration of the diversity and splendour of the UK’s best loved landscapes, Wastwater in the Wasdale Valley was officially awarded the prestigious title of ‘Britain’s Favourite View’ in a programme of the same name.
At nearly three miles long, almost half a mile wide and, with a depth of 258 feet, Wastwater is the deepest lake in England. Add to this the fact that it is overlooked by England’s highest mountain, Scafell Pike at 3,210 feet, and it becomes an area of dramatic extremes.
