The Lake District National Park is awash with stunning lakes, each with its own unique character. But nestled away on Birker Fell, there's a hidden gem waiting to be discovered - Devoke Water.  This beautiful tarn (a small glacial lake) holds the title of the largest tarn in the whole Lake District. While not as grand as some of its more famous cousins, Devoke Water offers a tranquility that's hard to beat.  A Haven for Wildlife and Anglers Surrounded by low-lying fells, Devoke Water is a haven for wildlife. Keep an eye out for soaring buzzards, listen for the gentle plop of a frog, or see if you can spot the flash of a fish jumping. Speaking of fish, Devoke Water is a well-kept secret amongst anglers. Its deep, dark waters are home to a healthy population of brown trout and perch, making it a fantastic spot to cast a line (permit required from Millom Anglers). Walking Trails and Breathtaking Views Devoke Water can be reached via a bridleway that winds across Birker Fell. This

The barn is located in a field of rolling hills, and it is surrounded by sheep and cows. The views from the barn are stunning, and it is a great place to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside. The barn is a popular spot for photographers and walkers, and i

Hello . Some of you might be wondering where everything went. Did the blogosphere swallow my content whole? Did I have a sudden aversion to sharing? Well, the answer's a bit more nuanced than that. The truth is, I've been fiddling around with the direction of this site for a while now. One minute I'm diving deep into philosophy, the next I'm rambling about the perfect cup of tea. It's been a bit of a mixed bag, and frankly, it wasn't quite sitting right with me. But fear not, loyal readers! I've finally landed on something I'm excited about. From here on out, this site will be all about the visuals. Think stunning landscapes, captivating street photography, maybe even the occasional foray into the world of product closeups (Zzz!). Why the shift? Well, there's something undeniably powerful about a captured image. It can tell a story, evoke an emotion, or simply transport you to another place entirely. And that's the kind of experience I want to sh
