Buttermere is the small lake between the village of the same name and the Honister road. High Stile, Haystacks, and Fleetwith Pike stand around it, and a flat path circles the shore. Crummock Water is the next lake down the valley. The village is a hamlet: a pub, a farm, and a handful of houses, which is why the shore stays quieter than Windermere.
