Lake District Part 2

Kirkstone Pass is a mountain pass in the English Lake District, in the county of Cumbria at an altitude of 1,489 feet. It is the District's highest pass traversed by road between Ambleside in Rothay Valley and Patterdale in Ullswater Valley. The road gradient approaches 1 in 4. The picturesque view down into Patterdale has Brothers Water as its focal point.
Ullswater is a glacial lake and part of the Lake District National Park. It is the second largest lake in the region by both area and volume, after Windermere. The lake is about 7 miles long, three quarters of a mile wide, and has a maximum depth of 207 feet.

Helvellyn is the third-highest point both in England and in the Lake District. The scenery includes three deep glacial coves and two sharp-topped ridges on the eastern side (Striding Edge and Swirral Edge). From 18th Century early visitors to Helvellyn were the poets Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth, both of whom lived nearby at one period. Many routes up the mountain are possible so that it may be approached from all directions.
