Rydal Water
Rydal Water is a small, gem-like lake tucked between Ambleside and Grasmere in the Lake District, lying in the heart of Wordsworth country and reflecting the fells and oakwoods that inspired his greatest poetry. It rewards a gentle walk along its shores with constantly shifting views, and the atmosphere of the surrounding valley is one of the most poetic in England.
