Crummock water is a beautiful and quiet lake nestled in the cupped palm of a mountain ringed valley in the north of the English Lake District. It is a favourite amongst locals, discerning visitors, walkers, outdoor swimmers, fishermen, canoists, and those who want to quietly ‘sit and see’ on the shore.
Arguably the finest valley in England, its quiet beauty is under threat.
