Walks in The Lake District
Description
Welcome to a walking site devoted to The Lake District, an area of breathtaking scenery, market towns and charming sleepy villages. The walks on the site vary from leisurely strolls by rivers and lakes to more daunting day treks taking you to the summits of England's highest mountains. Each walk includes detailed instructions of the route, where to park, length of the walk, grade of the walk with numerous photographs along the way.
The Lake District has many unique characteristics which have made it so popular with tourists and walker alike for over 100 years: the tranquil splendour of its incomparable lakes; the majestic grandeur of its rugged mountains and fells; its green pastures and peaceful dales; and its lonely tarns and mountain passes.
The fascinating beauty of the scenery has been the inspiration of poets, writers and artists over the years from Arthur Ransome, William and Dorothy Wordsworth to Beatrix Potter and from John Ruskin to Heaton Cooper. Many of their works and the places where they used to live can still be seen today. For the rainy days there are numerous attractions, museums and shops: The Brockhole National Park Visitors Centre, Windermere steamboats, BNFL's Sellafield Visitors Centre and the Laurel and Hardy Museum to name but a few!
