We had visited the lakes numerous times in the past. However, like the crowds of tourists, we followed to the usual areas we all know and love. Windamere & Kendal were always where we headed to. Yet I couldn’t help be disappointed at the one hour or day trip cruisers, souvenir shops and multi ice cream & fish and chip shops that came with it. Surely somewhere in this area, the lakes wernt as touristy or commercialised. At long last, we found the very place. It was only through speaking to another hotel guest the previous evening, we discovered the name Crummock Waters. Not having heard of it before, I researched it and found there were three lakes near each other. Loweswater, Crummock Waters & Buttermere. We headed there the following day with swim stuff in hand, as we were determined to go wild swimming. The adventure of that day was more than we could have imagined. An area of outstanding beauty, no tourist commercial buildings or ferry rides, this was how we had imagined the lakes to be. We found our heaven on earth. The only people there were walkers, some having picnics and the resident lambs of the area, that quietly walked by you looking for their next meal of fresh grass. Later that night, I thanked that man who had informed of this secret jewel in the crown area. We have booked to go back in the Autumn. 
On the way here, we noticed the beauty and rugged mountains. Lambs were grazing along the side of the road. We lost our wifi ! This was telling me, we had hit some real natural organic countryside. With only the lambs and the odd passing car as company , we stopped to take in the views surrounding us.
