Tips

July 14, 2025

Cycling

Over Water is a secluded lake in the northern part of the Lake District National Park. It lies at an altitude of 188 meters and was artificially enlarged by a dam in 1904 to serve as a drinking water reservoir for Wigton—a function it fulfilled until October 2022. The surrounding area offers beautiful views of the water and the surrounding hills such as Binsey, Great Cockup, and Longlands Fell.
