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.
