Sitting at the foot of
Helvellyn, north of Ambleside, this intriguing
village was once an important centre of lead
mining. Wordsworth must have known it well because
as a young man he managed to terrify himself by
‘borrowing’ a small boat and launching it onto the
vast expanse of Ullswater, which lies nearby.
Patterdale has also given its name to the spirited
‘Patterdale’ hunting terrier. |
