Haweswater from Harter Fell, Westmorland

Haweswater Haweswater is a lake in Mardale in Westmorland, and part of the Lake District. The lake as it is seen today is a reservoir, its waters dammed and raised between the wars. The surrounding land has several grand fells; High Raise (2,635 feet) is to the west, and near it High Street (2,720 feet). Harter Fell (2,510 feet) is behind its head to the south, and to the east is the gentler Swindale Common. A path, the Old Corpse Road, leads up from Haweswater over the common and down into Swindale.
