About Buttermere
Buttermere, located in the picturesque Lake District of North West England, is a stunning lake spanning approximately 2 kilometres in length and 0.54 kilometres in width. With a maximum depth of 28.6 metres, it covers an area of 0.9 square kilometres and sits at an elevation of 100.3 metres above sea level. The lake's primary outflow connects to Crummock Water via Buttermere Dubs, which ultimately feeds into the River Cocker, contributing to the region's waterway system within Cumberland, Cumbria. This serene location may be of interest for planning applications related to environmental conservation, tourism, and recreational developments. The settlement has a population of approximately 92 (2021 estimate). It sits within the Allerdale district.
