Lake District Guide

The Lake District, located in Cumbria, is a mountainous area, famous its lakes, fells and staggering beauty. The Lake District is also host to highest mountain in England, Scafell Pike.

Much of the area falls in the Lake Distirct National Park, covering 885 square miles of largely unspoilt beauty. While several million visitors each year descend on the Lake District, you are never far from peace and solitude.
