Windermere in Cumbria at 10.5 miles long, one mile wide and 220 feet deep is the longest and largest natural lake in England.
Ambleside, a town one mile north of Lake Windermere is a popular destination for tourists. My attention was caught by the unique colour of most buildings around the town - grey slate used as building material for these buildings.
***********************************************************
The tallest building in town is the St. Mary's Church which was built between 1850 and 1854 in the Early Gothic style. It has a spire which was built of sandstone rather than the slate used in many buildings in the town.
