Western Lake
District
Crummock Water
Crummock Water, at two and a half miles long,
lies in the peaceful Lorton Vale and is separated from the
smaller Buttermere by only a few field lengths. Grasmoor overlooks
the lake, rising up from the far side; Rannerdale Knotts can
also be seen further down the valley before the slopes of Fleetwith
Pike rise up in the distance. An 8 mile circuit of the lake
can be enjoyed – a diversion up to the 170ft Scale Force
is well worth the extra effort.
