Description
A headwall of great crags, bathed in sunlight, forms a jagged skyline to this serene glimpse of the Buttermere valley. At the head of the lake, the pebbled shoreline of Gatesgarth is cast in shadow while the slopes of Robinson, from which William paints, are brilliantly lit. On the far side of the lake, rising for 700 metres (over 2,000 feet), High Crag and High Stile form, together with Red Pike to their north-west, one of the classic ridge-routes of the Lake District, part of which is seen here in early summer, with the lower slopes of the fells bursting with the vivid green of new grass.
“Here, with the great crags looming above, the sun’s rays slanting across them and the lake lapping at their feet, the character of this valley seems to be brought to one of its highest peaks, and, for many people, this place remains in the memory more than any other in the whole district.” – William Heaton Cooper, The Lakes, p.129.
