Crummock Water
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Crummock Water is a lake in the Lake District in Cumbria, England situated between Buttermere to the south and Loweswater to the north. The River Cocker is considered to start at the north of the lake, before then heading into Loweswater. The hill of Mellbreak runs the full length of the lake on its western side; as Alfred Wainwright described it 'no pairing of hill and lake in Lakleland have a closer partnership than these'.
It is owned by the National Trust. Scale Force, the highest waterfall in the Lake District, feeds the lake.
