Ullswater

The man had gone swimming at Falling Rocks in Ullswater on Friday morning and his friends called emergency services when he did not resurface.

The man, who was described as "elderly" by Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team, fell near Sheffield Pike overlooking Ullswater on Sunday.

Inspired by William Wordsworth's poem I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud, it was led by Ullswater Valley-based potter Helen Ratcliffe, and made by 500 volunteers.

In the poem Wordsworth described seeing thousands of flowers "at a glance", and the words were inspired by the Ullswater Valley, close to where the castle is located.

Mountain rescue volunteers were already out at Red Tarn, at the base of Helvellyn, helping a woman who had slipped and sustained a suspected fractured ankle when the call from the waterfall near Ullswater came through.
