A lovely place for a dip be weary it was particularly boggy on the route for those who don’t like mud I’d recommend finding a route which is paved and sign posted well !

The lake is a wonderful place to enjoy from one of the paths along the shore or from the surrounding mountains. The Cumbria Way also runs along the shore for about 4km, passing campsites. A herd of cows grazes in a meadow adjacent to the lake – and of course, the usual sheep are also around :)
