Cottages near Devoke Water Cumbria

Hidden away on Birker Fell lies Devoke Water, a paradise for fishermen and entertaining enough for a short walk. Visit the higher ground of Water and Rough Crag to the north for the lovely views up Eskdale and the Scafell range which certainly adds to the walk’s attraction. Devoke Water itself is a large tarn nearly 1 mile in length which houses brown trout and perch for the connoisseur and is the largest tarn in the Lake District. As well as offering an excellent short walk Devoke Water has a number of ancient bronze age settlements and surprisingly the most radio active brown trout in the country. However for the walker it is the peaceful surroundings and great views which attract – something unusual on such a large expanse of water.

Lying to the west of the Pennines, The Lake District is arguably one of  the most beautiful parts of the country. With Craggy Fells and peaceful lakes it is alive with the beauty that inspired William Wordsworth and the childrens writer Beatrix Potter, who both made their homes here. The Lake District National Park is the Largest in England and the second largest in the whole United Kingdom and is centered on the busy resort town of Ambleside, crowded with walkers and teashops.
