If you look at the OS road map, only Bassenthwaite Lake is a lake. The rest are all Waters, Tarns or Meres, there's also a few Resevior as well. In total there's 81 bodies of water though.
Clever, Rollo, and I bet you're right according to sxis. But I'd say that Windermere, Ullswater and the rest are also lakes. They don't have "Lake" in their names, granted, but not all towns have "Town" in their name either; doesn't stop them from being towns. Now if sxis had asked how many Lakes, with a capital L, he'd have a better argument that there's only one. But I maintain there are nearly as many lakes in the Lake District as there are bodies of water.
I'll also bet that I'm probably the only one anoraky enough to have bothered to count them all as well :DQuote:
