After visiting the banks of the Lake, it was time to leave. We took the top road, out of Grasmere:
Not long after, we were next to Rydal Water, it was bucketing it down.
But I jumped out of the car, braved the elements, got a few shots:
In its own way, Rydal Water looked stunning in the grey, murky conditions.
Located in the hamlet or small village of Rydal, between Grasmere and Ambleside in the Rothay Valley, Rydal Water only measures less than a mile long, with a maximum width of 380 yards.
On all my previous trips to the Lake District, we'd driven straight past Rydal Water, without time to ponder its beauty.
But this time, it was an honour to see the place a little longer.
I kind of imagined Wordsworth, who lived in Rydal 1813-1850, wandering around this small Lake, musing about all kinds of great things.
