Autumn Mist over Crummock Water – OS Wallpaper Download October 2025
Located in the western Lake District, Crummock Water is nestled between Buttermere and Loweswater. The lake is fed by nearby streams and drains into the River Cocker, which flows through Cockermouth. Surrounded by dramatic fells like Mellbreak and Grasmoor, it offers a quieter experience compared to some of the larger lakes. The water is crystal clear, and the landscape is ideal for peaceful walks, photography, and wildlife spotting.
This month’s OS Wallpaper image is from our new book, Outstanding Walks Lake District. Read our interview with the award winning author Vivienne Crow.
