Lake District
England's scenic northwest
The Lake District is a mountainous region in northwestern England, known for its glacial lakes, rugged fells, and literary associations with Wordsworth and the Romantic poets.
It's England's largest national park and a popular destination for hiking and tourism: We spent a week walking in the Lake District.
