This is Elter Water, with the Langdale Pikes almost perfectly reflected in it. Elter Water’s one of the smaller lakes in the Lake District, but no less spectacular. Its name, like a lot of Northern England places, comes from Old Norse: elptr/alpt, which means “swan”, and vatn, meaning “lake”, giving us “lake of swans”.
