Aerial views of Elterwater Quarry, a heart-shaped lake which is located in the Lake District. //Stunning pictures show a heart-shaped lake in one of the UK’s most loved beauty spots, formed out of a slate quarry. Pretty drone images show the romantic shape of Elterwater Quarry, in Cumbria, which is known to locals as 'the heart of the Lake District'. It is believed the heart was formed after years of mining in the area, which dates back to the 19th century. Its rich blue colour is said to be caused by ancient volcanic rock - which contains a high concentration of metals - which have been dissolved into the water.
