| Howick Hall is a Grade II listed building in Northumberland, extensively rebuilt after a fire in the 1920s. It was the ancestral home of the Earls Grey, and home of Prime Minister Charles, 2nd Earl Grey, after whom the famous tea is named. All photo's in this series have been taken by Mooncat755. |

| The Windermere Ferry Landing, or Ferry House as it is sometimes called, is located on the west side of the lake. There are in fact two ferries in the summer months, the regular car and pedestrian ferry, seen having arrived above, plus a launch service which operates direct to Bowness Pier. The car and pedestrian ferry operates all year round. |

| The launch service is almost ready to leave for Bowness. |
