Lake District National Park

England's mountains: sixteen lakes, 214 Wainwrights, Scafell Pike, and the most walked fells in Britain.

The Lakes are small and perfectly arranged. Every valley has its lake, every lake its fells, and a day's walk can take in a shore, a ridge and a summit and still be back for tea. It is the most visited national park in Britain for good reason, and it has a walking culture, from Wainwright's guides to the fell runners, that nowhere else matches.

Keswick serves the northern fells and Derwentwater, Ambleside and Grasmere the centre, Coniston and Windermere the south. The western valleys, Wasdale, Eskdale and Ennerdale, are quieter and wilder and hold the highest ground.
