Collection Information

Brothers Water is a small lake in the Hartsop valley, in the eastern region of the Lake District in England. Once called Broadwater, it lies at the northern end of Kirkstone Pass, affording picturesque views on the descent towards Patterdale. The name was changed in the 19th century after two brothers drowned there.
