Geological map of the Lake District showing the main structures and areas of mineralisation Skiddaw seen from Derwentwater. The Lake District's geology is very complex but well-studied. [33] A granite batholith beneath the area is responsible for this upland massif, its relatively low density causing the area to be "buoyed up". The granite can ...
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).

116 Lake District Outlying Fells Wainwrights are the 214 English peaks (known locally as fells ) described in Alfred Wainwright 's seven-volume Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells (1955–66). They all lie within the boundary of the Lake District National Park in Cumbria , and all but one (Castle Crag) are over 1,000 feet (304.8 m) in height.
The lake's catchment is the largest of any lake in the Lake District. This, along with a large percentage of cultivable land within this drainage area, makes Bassenthwaite Lake a fertile habitat. [citation needed] The lake contains salmon, trout, pike, perch, minnow, dace, ruffe and eel, though the predominant species is roach.
