Wasdale Head (/ˈwɒzdeɪl/; traditionally /ˈwɒsəl,ˈwɒʃdəl/)[1] is a scattered agricultural hamlet in the Lake District National Park in Cumbria, England. Wasdale Head claims to be home of the highest mountain (Scafell Pike), deepest lake (Wastwater), smallest church and biggest liar in England. The last of these claims refers to Will Ritson, who paradoxically proclaimed himself as such. In 1870-72 the township/chapelry had a population of 49.[2]
