More about this scene
Tucked between Crummock Water and Buttermere lake, the village is set in imposing Lakeland scenery. The small stock enclosure which goes across the Sail Beck was probably used for sheep washing in the summer, before shearing got underway. On the right are the rear elevations of the Fish Inn.

My sister Muriel and I attended buttermere school.I passedmy 11plus and went to Keswick school as a boarder.Muriel passed hers two years later and went to Cockermouth grammar. During the years culminating in 1948 (the war years)I recall Butter ere as being an idyllic place to have a childhood. School with our wonderful teacher Mrs Beattie was a real joy.Mrs Beattie travelled from Workington every day by miter bike.
