More about this scene
We are looking south from Lower Gatesgarth. The pines of Crag Wood are prominent in the centre of the photograph, while the slopes of Dodd sweep up the lake shore beyond. Buttermere and Crummock Water were once a single large lake, until alluvium from Sail Beck gradually cut it in two.

My sister Muriel and I attended buttermere school.I passedmy 11plus and went to Keswick school as a boarder.Muriel passed hers two years later and went to Cockermouth grammar. During the years culminating in 1948 (the war years)I recall Butter ere as being an idyllic place to have a childhood. School with our wonderful teacher Mrs Beattie was a real joy.Mrs Beattie travelled from Workington every day by miter bike.
