The Lake District

The Lake District, a region and national park in North West England, is a popular holiday destination. It’s known for its glacial ribbon lakes, rugged fell mountains and historic literary associations. Market towns such as Kendal, Keswick and Ambleside are bases for exploring the area and home to traditional inns, art galleries and outdoor equipment shops.

The Lake District is England's largest National Park and home to Scafell Pike – the highest mountain, Wastwater – the deepest lake and thriving communities like Keswick and Bowness-on-Windermere.
