How well do you know the Lake District?
How many major lakes are there in the Lake District?
You can be forgiven for saying ‘16’ but strictly speaking the answer is just one! The others are actually meres, waters, or tarns.
Have a go at our quiz below to find out which one is the genuine ‘lake’.
We’ll give you a clue to start with – Lakeside is on Windermere. That’s a ‘mere’ and also the largest and one of the most famous waterways in the Lake District National Park. But can you identify it and the other Lake District ‘lakes’?
(By the way, for the sake of simplicity we refer to the bodies of water below as ‘lakes’ even if they’re really meres, waters or tarns.)
