Wintry slopes of Helvellyn on the shores of Thirlmere, Cumbria with the sunset colours reflected across the water.

A view from the western shoreline of Thirlmere in Cumbria's Lake District looking towards the Skiddaw range of the Northern Fells. Thirlmere which is 3.5 miles long and about 188 feet deep, was created in the late 1800s to supply water to ManchesterAlthough the main road from Ambleside to Keswick runs along the eastern shore, by far the best views are found by driving along the narrow road on its western side.

The view from the water's edge at Thirlmere's southern end, looking across to the fells leading up to the Helvellyn range. These lakeside spots are reached by taking the narrow western road which follows the edge of the lake. From here parking bays give access to woodland trails leading down to the shoreline. Thirlmere, created by the Manchester Corporation in the late 1800s as a water supply, is 3.5 miles long and is about 158 feet deep when full. The lake is part of Cumbria's Lake District.

English Lake District

Those who love the Lake District in the North West of England will love to wear this design to show their love for all things Thirlmere.

On the western side of Thirlmere in England's Cumbrian Lake District is a narrow winding road along the length of the lake. Several parking places give access to woodland walks to the shore of the lake. This bridge is on one such walk near the southern end of the lake, crossing a small but torrential stream tumbling down the hillside. It's the sort of bridge that invites you to cross it - just to see where it leads!

1207 views as of July 17, 2015. I love those old steam trains & even this one which is well past it's "puffing time" still looks great to me. Standing not far from the railway museum at Thirlmere in NSW, Australia, I had to stop & have a closer look. A great day of steam train chasing & worshiping with Redbubblers Chris Randall & Steve Randall. Photographed with a Canon 400D.

view of the Helvellyn range of fells and mountains taken from Highpark wood close to the shore of Thirlmere lake in the Lake District. The deep gorge in the hillside is the route that Helvellyn Gill takes as it flows down into Thirlmere reservoir.

A great day of train chasing with Chris Randall & Steve Randall as we followed the steam train (starting from Central, Sydney) from Menangle Rd near Picton to Thirlmere & then this steam locomotive on the short trip to Buxton. There wasn't as much steam as I would have liked here but the clouds helped. Canon 400D. Thirlmere, NSW, Australia. *Features* A Place To Call Home, September 2012. Canon vs Nikon, September 2012.
