Ullswater, in the catchment of the River Eden, is the second-largest of the Cumbrian lakes.
The Eden is a river with high water quality that supports a large population of white-clawed crayfish Austropotamobius pallipes in the northern part of its range in England.
The high ecological value of the river system and the fact that the salmon are able to use most of the catchment (even above Ullswater, a large natural lake on the main river), mean that the Eden is able to maintain a large population of salmon.

 Using “River Habitat Survey” to Plan Habitat Improvements for Fish
River Habitat Survey (RHS), (Raven et al., 1997; Fox et al., 1998), was developed to describe and evaluate physical habitat at national, catchment and lesser scales in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The second case study is on the River Eden, where catchment-wide evaluation has been used to produce suggestions for improved habitat management practises with the ultimate aim of increasing trout and salmon stocks.
River water quality is high throughout the catchment and the Eden provides excellent salmon fisheries.

The first element is probably Welsh 'glyndwfr', a river valley; the second element may be a superfluous O.N. 'á', a river; the last could be a Welsh word 'mochyn', meaning 'swine'.
