The Lake District National Park is one of fourteen National parks in the United Kingdom. It lies entirely within Cumbria, and is one of England's few mountainous regions. All the land in England higher than three thousand feet above sea level lies within the Park. The Lakes, as the region is also called, were made famous during the early 19th century by the poetry and writings of William Wordsworth and the Lake Poets.
The Lake District has more than 3,500 kilometres of rights of way, you can walk, cycle and ride around the beautiful Lake District to your heart’s content.
Enjoy yourself on an event from guided walks to pond dipping
Canoe, sail or fish on the rivers, lakes or coast. Hire a boat from the Coniston Boating Centre.
For a more laid-back experience, country shows provide a different sort of retail therapy. Check out the adventure playground, beautiful gardens or tasty cafe at the Lake District Visitor Centre overlooking Windermere.
Or simply enjoy wandering around the slate-roofed and limewashed villages, taking in the tranquil atmosphere of this special corner of England.
Tourism has now become the park's major industry, with about 14 million visitors each year. Windermere Lake Steamers are now the UK's second most popular charging tourist attraction and the local economy is dependent upon tourists.
