Here a group of visitors pause to admire the view from Purse Point across the lake towards Glenridding. Ullswater, or 'Ulph's-water', takes its name from the Viking settler Lyulph, whose name was popularised in the 18th century when the Duke of Norfolk, then owner of Greystoke Castle, built the folly called Lyulph's Tower on the north side of the lake.
