Brotherswater is one of those Minimum Effort/Maximum Reward places.
There’s a small car park and then five minutes walk along the river you reach this expansive view of the Dodds of Patterdale above Brotherswater. It’s quite a wondrous place.
Brotherswater, or Brother’s Water, was the first Lake District site purchased by the National Trust. It was originally called Broad Water but—the story goes—was renamed after the tragic drowning of two local brothers.
All photos shot on my Fujifilm X-T2 with a 16–50mm f/3.5–5.6 lens, using the Classic Chrome film emulation.
