More about this scene
Scale Force near Crummock Water is, at 172 ft, the Lake District's longest waterfall. The path to the falls goes up from Buttermere village; the falls - in fact a series of cascades - are hidden in a tree-lined gorge.

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
The cottage nestling in the foreground was purchased from the White family in 1986 by my parents. Between the vicarage and smithy it was built in 1780, and from 1782 the curate's school before moving up the hill to the new building (now village hall) in 1839. It has been a home to a post office messenger (Thomas Sancton 1881 census) and also Bella, who ran it as a sweetshop in the '70s.
For the last twenty years it has been let as self-catering holiday-let accommodation.
