Wast Water Tours

Wastwater looking to Scarfell Pike
After traveling for an hour from our hotel hoping that we would not miss the sunset we arrived at our destination and quickly setup and waited for the sun to disappear to the righthand side of the rolling hills in the Lake District and when it did we started shooting long exposures of around 60 seconds so that it would smooth the water out and get movement in the dark moody sky above and finally after about 10 minutes the sun hit the hills in the distance and what a site it was
Wast Water
Wast Water on a glorious late September day. We walked here from nearby Santon Bridge, about 3 mile way. This is the bottom end of the lake, near Nether Wasdale.
Wast Water is a great place to enjoy some time out from the bustle of daily life. Check if any water activities are on offer here, or simply enjoy the calming ambiance.

This Seascale body of water is a good place to kick off your day of sightseeing. There's lots to experience in the area, like Scafell Pike, Wasdale, and Hardknott Roman Fort. Take your time at Wast Water before making tracks to these other fine sights.
