Orrest Head viewpoint, Windermeret

The view over the lake from Orrest Head, Windermere in the Lake District National Park, Cumbria.
It was this view over Windermere that launched Alfred Wainwright's passion for the Lakeland Fells. In his autobiography Ex-Fellwanderer (1987): “Quite suddenly, we emerged from the shadows of the trees and were on a bare headland, as though a curtain had dramatically been torn aside, beheld a truly magnificent view.”
