Lake English
Number of lakes in the English Lake District?
This is a favourite Trivia question! The answer is that there are only a few stretches of water in the Lake District which have ‘Lake’ in their name. Bassenthwaite Lake is one but what are the others?
Note that only one body of water, Bassenthwaite Lake, is officially named a lake.
The name mere or water is usually given to a larger body of water in the Lake District, while tarn normally refers to a smaller one.

Greatest Hits $7.91 Bob Seger has racked up a lot of worthy tracks over the years, but it took until 1994 for a greatest hits package to appear. Voilà. The bad news: We’re missing an awful lot of songs here. Night Moves is Seger’s crit-pick album, and a great place to start if you don’t have any Seger at all. Next in the rankings is Stranger in Town. Otherwise, his highs are pretty scattered, which would make any be… |
