Peter Bowen discovers the Lake District



The Lake District, also known as The Lakes or Lakeland, is a rural area in northwest England. A popular holiday destination, it is famous for its lakes and its mountains (or fells), and also its associations with poets and artists.

The central and most-visited part of the area is contained in the Lake District National Park - 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 National Park.
