VIVIENNE CROW / Ullswater


The first time I saw this view in the eastern Lake District, it literally stopped me in my tracks. I was following the trail that hugs the eastern and southern edges of Gowbarrow, enjoying the occasional glimpses of the lake and loving the way the ground drops away in places. “What a great path!” I thought. But then I rounded a bend above Yew Crag and this jaw-dropping scene to the south-west was suddenly revealed. What had gone before paled in comparison as I looked along the western expanse of Ullswater, blue and inviting, with the dark, craggy Helvellyn range forming a sublime backdrop. Rock and water: the perfect combination.
