The real beauty of the Lake District lies in its constantly changing aspects-from dramatic geological shifts to the subtle play of light on fellsides and lowland pastures, or a breeze rippling across the surface of a lake. Strictly speaking, in spite of its name, the Lake District has only one lake-Bassenthwaite. All the others are 'tarns', 'meres' or 'waters'. However, these are only one ingredient of Lakeland's unique landscape, which also includes hills and fells, forests, valleys and picturesque towns and village, including Keswick, Patterdale, Hawkshead, Windermere and Braithwaite.
