Nether Wasdale (also known as Strands) lies in Wasdale near the river Irt, at the southern end of Wastwater, England's deepest lake. Its white stone cottages line the roadside.
By the village green is St Michael & All Angels church, with the village cemetery (lower right in the above picture), some 200 metres away. In front of the church is a large maypole, now a listed structure, erected to celebrate the golden jubilee of Queen Victoria.
On the curve in the road just above the centre of the above picture, are The Screes Hotel and The Strands Hotel, and the Low Wood Hotel is at the top of the picture.
