Lake District
National Park
The Lake District became a national park in 1951 and is England’s largest, covering 912 square miles of Cumbria. It was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2017. Here you’ll find England’s highest mountain, Scafell Pike, its deepest lake, Wastwater, and the 214 fells that Alfred Wainwright made famous in his Pictorial Guides. Glacial valleys, sparkling lakes and stone-walled farms sit beneath rugged fells, in a landscape that inspired Wordsworth, Beatrix Potter and generations of walkers. Take on the Wainwrights with our interactive map, or start with our hand-picked hikes below.
