Photograph taken at 13:21pm on September 6th 2012 between Watermillock and Glenridding, next to the Parish Church of St Peter Martindale, having navigated a one track road called The Hause for miles until up a very twisty and steep hill, climbing to 233m, we came to rest on this spot. A walk to a vantage point that gave us a commanding view across to the waters edge and the HowTown Ullswater Ferry landing made the trip so worthwhile.

Ullswater is the second largest lake in the English Lake District, approximately nine miles long and 0.75 miles wide with a maximum depth of slightly more than 60 metres.
