For people who love natural scenery, coming to the UK is absolutely addicting, and the refreshing natural scenery also makes us slow down from the busy study and work. So do you know what the most beautiful lakes in the UK are worth visiting? This article will introduce you to some of the most beautiful lakes in the UK.
1. Windermere, Lake District
Lake Windermere is located at the southernmost tip of the British Lake District and is 13 kilometers long. It is said to be the longest and largest lake in England. Not only can you take a boat from Bowness-on-Windermere pier to roam the lake, but it is also worth stopping for a walk.
If the weather is good, you can walk into the small town of Bowness by the lake, roaming by the sunny lake, there are many swans and pigeons lingering and waiting to be fed, grabbing the food spilled by passers-by.
Sitting on the bench by the lake, eating ice cream, enjoying the slight cool breeze by the lake, watching the wind surging in the sky, watching the lake sparkle, all the impetuousness is appeased at this moment, and the long-lost peace is regained.
2. Buttermere, Lake District
Another picturesque lake in the Lake District is Buttermere. It is also a very beautiful experience to drive to this area. It is recommended to start from the right bank route. The two views may be different, the left bank is not very ornamental because it is close to the road.
If you have time, of course you can go around the lake. On average, it takes about an hour and a half for half a circle. Whether it is the lake view under the sun or the pine forest with green grass on the shore, it is like a scene in a fairy tale.
3. Loch Lomond, Scotland
Loch Lomond (or Loch Lomond) is the largest lake in Scotland, supplying drinking water to all the people of Scotland. Loch Lomond is located at the starting point of the A82, the most beautiful road in the UK, and it is also a place that is most easily overlooked by self-driving tourists.
If you have time to drive to the highlands, please don't rush past it, release the accelerator, and feel it slowly. The town of Luss is one of the top ten towns in the UK. It is built on the lake. Walking along the lake and the town for a while is also a way to relax on the road.
4. Lake Vyrnwy, Wales
Lake Vernuy is a conservation area left over from the Victorian era, and the towering arched dam on the lake shore was built in the 19th century. The dam was built to provide Liverpool residents with a reliable source of drinking water, it was the first dam built of stone in the world, and the dam is still in use today.
At that time, because the dam would block the river valley, the rising water level would flood the villages in the middle of the river valley, and the residents had to migrate downstream of the dam. Now the original village has already subsided to the bottom of the lake.
The lake is very large, and the surrounding woods are environmentally friendly. When the weather is good, you can also see low-flying birds and soaring falcons by boat on the lake. It is a paradise for bird watchers, and it is also suitable for fishing.
On the north bank of the lake is the Rhiwargor Waterfall, which is traced back to the source. A slow stream passes through the stones, surrounded by dense forests, which is very suitable for hiking.
5. Loch Awe, Scotland
Loch Awe is the third largest freshwater lake in Scotland. There are many abandoned and incomplete castles by the lake. The most famous is Kilchurn Castle built in the 15th century on the north bank, which has a magnificent and desolate beauty.
If you just want to see the castle from a distance and the lake, you can take the train to the Ou Lake Railway Station. If you want to visit, you can take a boat from Loch's pier in summer. Or walk from Dalmally, which is a very hidden path with a sign to the castle.
On the way, you have to cross the train track, and after a while, you will see the "road" leading to the castle.
