The best list of webcam links in the Lake District. Info buttons provide labels for what you can see and links to panoramic photographs in the view. |
|
I check this list regularly, usually several times a week, and mark any that I find offline in red. I move webcams that seem to have disappeared to the list below. I also periodically scan around for new webcams and add them as appropriate. The star ratings are a measure of how much I like the camera and the view it gives. This depends on the location, picture quality, usefulness, reliability and how interesting the view usually is. I am particularly interested in webcams that help planning hillwalking. The info button contains examples of photographs from the webcam with some labelled so you know what you can see and links to panoramic photos taken in the view as well as other information about the webcam. |
