Let"s explore Buttermere in Lake District, which is a mountainous region and national park in Cumbria, North West England, as seen in today"s image. Here, a Norse leader, Jarl Buthar, once defied Norman conquests during the 12th century. Some people think Buttermere"s name may come from Buthar, but the more likely explanation is the nearby dairy pastures; Buttermere literally means "the lake by the dairy pastures." The lake, approximately 2 kilometres long, is not only a National Trust treasure but also the perfect place to take a break from the hustle and let nature refresh your spirit.
