Windermere is the largest natural lake in England. It is a ribbon lake formed in a glacial through after the retreat of ice at the start of the current interglacial. It is in the within the Lake District National Park county of Cumbria and entirely within the Lake District National Park.
Standing alone, as from a rampart’s edge,
I overlooked the bed of Windermere,
Like a vast river, stretching in the sun.
With exultation, at my feet I saw
Lake, islands, promontories, gleaming bays,
A universe of Nature’s fairest forms
Proudly revealed with instantaneous burst,
Magnificent, and beautiful, and gay.
William Wordsworth
