Which island is this river on?

Although not the longest of the trio of rivers situated on the Isle of Wight, the River Medina is considered the island's main river. Medina is the Latinised form of its Saxon name 'Medene' meaning 'middle river', as it nearly splits the Isle of Wight in half, flowing 12 miles northwards through the centre of the island. On its journey, the river passes through the capital Newport towards the twin towns of Cowes and East Cowes (situated on either side of the Medina and connected by a chain ferry), and the Solent, the strait that separates the Isle of Wight from the mainland of England. The river is a renowned yachting location, with Cowes home to one of the oldest and biggest sailing regattas in the world.

Which waterfall feeds this lake?

Natural lakes reflect surrounding mountains, fells and forests here in Cumbria’s Lake District, a UNESCO World Heritage site whose picturesque landscape has inspired writers from William Wordsworth to Beatrix Potter. Crummock Water and its neighbours, Buttermere and Loweswater sit in one of the prettiest parts of the Northern Lakes, the Vale of Lorton. Their chilly, clear waters make them an ideal home for the Arctic char as well as brown trout, sea trout and salmon. Also look out for Lakeland sheep wandering onto the roads and for red squirrels around Loweswater.

The Lake District gets busy during the summer but Crummock Water is considered one of the quieter lakes. It is a favourite with swimmers however and going for a dip is a popular way to cool off after a walk around its shores. The lake itself is 2.5 miles long, about half-a-mile wide and, in parts, more than 140 feet deep. It’s fed by streams, including one from Scale Force, the Lake District’s tallest single-drop waterfall, at 170 feet high.

Dare you cross?

A head for heights is definitely required here at one of Northern Ireland’s most eye-catching attractions, the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge, off the coast of County Antrim. This 20m (66ft) long bridge spans the chasm between the mainland and Carrick-a-Rede Island, which takes its name from the Irish ‘Carraig a’ Ráid’ or ‘rock of the casting’. No-one lives in the restored fisherman’s cottage on the island now but at one time it was the place to go to catch migrating salmon, and it is fishermen who built the first bridge here in 1755. If you think today’s bridge looks daunting, you should’ve seen some of its earlier incarnations. As late as the 1970s there was only one handrail, not to mention large gaps between the slats.

As numbers of salmon dipped, commercial fishing came to an end in 2002 and the bridge became a tourist attraction for those willing to test their nerve, swaying 100ft above the Atlantic. Game of Thrones fans may also recognise the area from the show’s scenes featuring Storm’s End, the seat of House Baratheon in the series.
