Panoramic View Along Wastwater, Lake District National Park, Cumbria

            Here is another panorama from a recent trip to the Lake District. This is a 6 image panorama looking along Wastwater towards England's Highest mountain, Scafell Pike.

Wastwater is situated in the Wasdale Valley. This dramatic lake is 3 miles long, half a mile wide and 260 feet deep, and the deepest of all of England’s lakes. Wastwater is perhaps the most awe-inspiring of all the lakes. Surrounded by mountains, Red Pike, Kirk Fell, Great Gable and Scafell Pike – England’s highest mountain.

Extending the length of the south-east side of the lake are the Screes, consisting of millions of fragments of broken rock and rising from the floor of the lake to a height of almost 2000 feet, giving the lake an ominous appearance. The valley was colonised by Norse farmers in the 9th and 10th century. At the Wasdale Head end of the lake is St. Olaf’s Church, one of the smallest in the country.

Scafell Pike is a mountain in the Lake District. It has an elevation of 978 metres (3,209 ft) above sea level, making it the highest and the most prominent mountain in England. The mountain is part of the Scafell massif, an extinct volcano, and is one of the Southern Fells.

Scafell, also spelled Sca Fell, previously Scawfell) has a height of 964 metres (3,163 feet) making it the second-highest mountain in England after its neighbour Scafell Pike, from which it is separated by Mickledore col.

The peaks in this image from left to right are Yewbarrow, Great Gable, Lingmell, Scafell and Scafell Pike.
