For other uses of this term, see Buttermere (disambiguation).

Buttermere is a lake in the northwestern sector of the English Lake District. It is 2 kilometres (one and a quarter miles) long by 500 metres (just over a quarter of a mile) wide, and is 23 metres (75 feet) deep. A place of considerable scenic value, it is situated towards the head of the valley of the river Cocker and is surrounded by fells, notably the High Stile range to the southeast, Robinson to the north, Fleetwith Pike and Haystacks to the northeast and Grasmoor to the northwest. The village of Buttermere stands at the southwest end of the lake, and beyond this is Buttermere's twin, Crummock Water. There is a path around the lake, which at one point runs through a rock tunnel beneath the locality of Hasness. Access is by road, either from Cockermouth in the northwest or from Borrowdale via the Honister Pass. The lake is owned by the National Trust and is part of the National Trust property called Buttermere and Ennerdale.
