Boathouse and Stable - D E V O K E W A T E R by Twogiantscoops The two-storey boathouse at Devoke Water was built around 1772 from stones gathered on the shore of the tarn. It was originally designed to provide shelter, and had a fireplace. Peat was dug from nearby to fuel the fire. The building was constructed by John Jackson, a farmer from Dalegarth, and John Bowman, a fisherman. Locals would pay 2 shillings a year for the right to fish the tarn Looking west from the rear of the boathouse you can see the remains of the stable. I used a Lee Big Stopper for a long exposure photograph enhancing the movement of the clouds.
