Waterfall off Illgill Head, Wastwater, English Lake District

Illgill Head

Illgill Head is a fell in the English Lake District. It is known more commonly as the northern portion of the Wastwater Screes. The fell is 609 metres high and stands along the south-east shore of Wast Water, the deepest lake in England.

I took this on our descent off the peak back to the car park.

    Thanks for the comment! As to drinking it I am always wary after horror stories as a kid about anthrax from dead sheep!

    Hi Kim.

    It was taken on slide film about 14 years ago so can’t recall exactly but I reckon that I used a speed of around 1/30 sec and rested it on a rock or something. Exact location is on the western slope above the scree slopes, if my memory serves me correctly. Its quite a small waterfall.

    Thanks for the comment.
