Haweswater - The Lake District

Haweswater is on the east side of the lakes. It’s not a natural lake but a man made reservoir. The valley was flooded in 1935. Originally the reservoir was built to supply water to Manchester. A Golden Eagle lives in the valley. If your lucky the eagle may put on a show. Unfortunately it’s partner has left him!
