If your ever in Cumbria on holiday it's a really lovely walk around. It's about 5k for the longer route and there's a flat shorter walk so works well for most
Beautiful area. I was lucky to visit the Lake District. It seems to me that Cogra Moss is not typical for this area. It is somewhat similar to the hills of neighboring Scotland, isn't it?
Cogra Moss is artifical and was a flooded valley used as drinking water supply. But it's used as such anymore, so your right the landscape is a bit more unique for this reasoning. It's used a lot for fly fishing as its shallow. I never thought of it in that way but yes it has a baby Loch feel about the landscape. No Nessie though lol
