	English Lakes - An illustrated guide to the Lake District - Windermere.
		Spectacular Lake Windermere is the largest lake in England, measuring ten and a half miles long and a mile and a quarter across at it's widest point, with a depth of up to 220 feet.
		Windermere is also the most commercialized of the English Lakes and a tourist magnet, which can often be very crowded in the spring and summer months, particularly along the east bank and parking spaces in the area can often be difficult to find.
		The name Windermere has it's origins in the tenth century when a Norse chief called Vinand bestowed upon the lake its name of 'Vinand's Mere.' As late as the the eighteenth century, the poet William Wordsworth often referred to the lake as 'Winandermere' in his writings and was a frequent visitor.
