Lake names in Lake District
-
I keep seeing references to "Lake Windermere" and "Lake Ullswater". These are wrong names.
Most recently, I saw these in your webcam views. Are these your names for them, or just copied from the webcam data?
For reference, they have names such as
Coniston Water
Grasmere
Ullswater
Rydal Water
Windermere
Derwent Water
Bassenthwaite Lake (there is one called "Lake"!)
Brotherswater
ButtermereI appreciate there will be bigger problems in the world, but these names are a part of our local culture and it's being diluted :-(
