2. Around Thirlmere
Thirlmere
This is a reservoir which supplies water to Manchester. The castle-like building along the east shore is the straining well. The level of the reservoir depends on water demand, so there’s often a strip of barren shoreline.
The small whitewashed Wythburn Church is centuries' old.
