Description: | View of Bassenthwaite Lake in Cumbria. The lake is one of the largest of the lakes in Northern England at four miles in length and three quarters of a mile in width. It is actually one of the shallowest lakes at only seventy feet. Lord Alfred Tenneyson stayed in a house overlooking Bassenthwaite lake and it is thought that it was the inspiration for the lake which features in his poem ‘Morte D’Arthur’- the sword Excaliber being thrown into its waters. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Thornton, I. | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
