Windermere or Lake Windermere [a] is a ribbon lake in Cumbria, England, and part of the Lake District. [5] It is the largest lake in England by length, area, and volume, but considerably smaller than the largest Scottish lochs and Northern Irish loughs .
The map shows the locations of the lakes with a volume over 4 x 10 6 m³ and gives an indication of the volume of water in each lake. The markers suggest this by showing the size of a drop of water where the volume of the drop would be in proportion to the quantity of water in the lake (the diameter of the drop is proportional to the cube root of the lake's volume).
The longest ice skating trail can be found on the Lake Windermere Whiteway. The naturally frozen trail measures 29.98 kilometres (18.63 mi).

They include Windermere, which with a length of 11 miles (18 km) and an area of 5.69 square miles (14.73 km 2) is the longest and largest lake in England, and Wast Water, which at 79 metres (259 ft) is the deepest lake in England.
